Adze, Toki
Complete adze with part of the bevel missing on proper right side. The cross-section is rectangular. The surface of the butt is bruised and the surface of the blade is mainly ground with some flaking on the back. There is minor differentiation as the back side of the butt tapers in towards the front side at the poll. The bevel is demarcated by an oblique line. The cutting edge is curved and sharp with a few minor chips on the proper left hand side and a large chunk missing on the proper right hand side.
