Broken pounamu chisel. The break is on the back of the blade. The cutting edge is remaining. The cross section is asymmetric due to the break. The surface is ground, with flaking on the break. On the proper left corner of the cutting edge there is the end of a sawing mark, which is then broken. The bevel is either broken off, or continuous with the blade. The cutting edge is curved and sharp, with some chipping.
