Short answer: not really
Long answer: It'll be OKish against unarmoured opponents, the same as bone bolts, but don't expect much beyond cutting into the fat, so fairly crap as a weapon. Stick it in a weapon trap to keep some noble happy. Adornemts don't add anything to the weapon's capabilities, and since it's an axe you can't get any better penetration with a stab, like you could with a pike or spear.

If your animals aren't expendable, you could always station a dwarf or two out there?

Not really. So yeah. Stick it in a weapon trap for your dwarves to admire.

Give it to your captain of the guard. It's a relatively nonlethal weapon, so if he tries to beat a criminal, said criminal will come out relatively unharmed.

Being an artifact it has higher to-hit chance, but being a bone axe it will not do much damage. So, live training weapon?
