Collection Record
Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface of the blade is ground and the butt is flaked. There is very minor differentiation between the butt and the blade due to the change of surface and the proper left hand side tapering in towards the poll. The bevel is curved and demarcated by a ridge at the chin. The cutting edge is straight and sharp with minor flaking along it.
