museums are full of decorative weapons but you rarely see ancient decorative tools.

Tools depreciate over time, I could see it being less worthwhile to commission or decorate a hand tool or hoe that may get destroyed quickly.
If they did and it survived, it was probably passed down to family/apprentices/others and used until it was destroyed, rather than being something someone buried with them, like a rich person being buried with a cool sword.
Very true, I'm sure tools got a lot more use than the family sword or axe.
