Incomplete adze, cutting edge broken off with large scarring on the front. Cross-section is quadrangular. The surface is mostly bruised with flake scars on the butt and a ground area on the lower back of the blade. There is minor distinction between the butt and the blade, as the stone on the sides of the front of the butt are reduced. There is no obvious bevel.
