Collection Record
Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface is ground but there is some flaking on the sides. There is some very minor differentiation between the butt and the blade as the proper right hand side tapers in towards the poll. The bevel is continuous with the blade and is slightly curved. The cutting edge is straight and sharp, although part of the cutting edge on the proper left hand side is missing.
