Collection Record
Adze, Toki
complete Oval to plano convex, slightly more flattened back. Circular butt. The cutting edge and bevel are ground, remainder of adze bruised. Minor differentiation between the butt and the blade, reduced front and sides from blade to butt. The butt tapers towards the pole (so that the butt is longer on the back than the front). The bevel is indistinguishable from the blade. Bevel is flat, cutting edge is curved and sharp but chipped.
