Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross section of the blade is trapezoidal, with the front narrower than the back. The cross section of the butt is triangular. The surface is flaked with some bruising on the proper right side. The bevel and the lower front surface are ground. The butt is differentiated by the change in cross section. The bevel is continuous with the blade but demarcated by its ground surface and a steep reduction of the back. The cutting edge is straight and sharp.
