Te Kohinga Taoka Māori

Collection Record

Adze, Toki

Complete adze. The cross section is asymmetrical. The surface is ground but has some bruising and a saw mark on the proper left hand side. There is minor differentiation between the butt and the blade as the two sides taper in towards the poll. The bevel is demarcated by a faint line at the chin. The cutting edge is sharp and curved with some flaking along it.
