Adze, Toki
Complete adze. Cross section is rectangular. The surface is ground with some bruising along the edges of the proper right side of the front and the proper left side of the back. There are two wedge-shaped grooves on the left and right edges of the front, about half way down, that look like surface wear. Minor differentiation of the butt due to reduction of the back side. The bevel is small and marked by a faint line. The cutting edge is sharp but chipped, and asymmetrically curved, with the proper left side longer.
