Adze, Toki

Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface is flaking that is bruised, however, front of the blade and the bevel are both ground. There is major differentiation between the butt and blade as the poll as two lugs on either side. Also the proper left and right hand side both taper in towards the poll and the surface changes. The bevel is demarcated by a small ridge at the chin and some flaking. The cutting edge is curved and sharp but has a bit of flaking along it.
