Adze, Toki
Complete adze. Black stone. Thin rectangular cross-section. The surface is mostly bruised, with ground areas on the blade, and flaking on the sides. There is no distinction between the butt and the blade. The sides of the blade taper in from the cutting edge towards the poll. The bevel is made distinct by its smooth surface. The cutting edge is straight and sharp with a chip on the proper right. "3-3-39" is written on pencil on the front of the blade.
