Looks like a hammer for texturing stone. Something used by a mason.

Or clean it up, and tenderize an entire side of beef/half pig!

What kind of finish is obtained with this hammer?  My son works sometimes in stone.  Maybe its something he could use.
Thanks

It will be similar to the edges of a granite tombstone.  A skill level is involved to get consistant results.
