Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface is flaked except for the front of the blade. There is strong differentiation between the blade and the butt as both sides obviously taper in towards the poll due to the flaking. There is also a possible lug on the proper right hand side. The bevel is ground while the rest of the adze is flaked, thus the bevel is demarcated by a ridge and the change of surface. The cutting edge is sharp and curved.
