Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross section is asymmetrical. The surface is mainly ground with some bruising on the sides and near the poll. There is a lug in the middle of the poll but no other major differentiation between the blade and the butt. The bevel is demarcated by a small ridge at the chin and flaking on the proper right hand side. The bevel itself is curved and the cutting edge is oblique and sharp but has some flaking along it.
