Adze, Toki

Roughout of adze, stone, dark grey. Asymmetrical rectangular cross-section. The surface is roughly flaked. The proper right side of the adze is smooth, with a straight ridge on the front, as though the stone had been sawn or broken cleanly. There is no differentiation between the butt and the blade. There is no bevel or cutting edge, but an irregular flaked blunt end.
