Stone, Worked, Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross-section is rectangular. The surface is ground. There is minor differentiation as the front of the butt reduces towards the poll. The sides also reduce slightly inwards. There is some flaking on the butt. The surface of the bevel is flaked and this indicates the change from blade to bevel. The cutting edge is curved and blunt with flaking along it. On the proper left hand side there is an significant chip.
