Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface on the back o the blade is ground but the surface on the front of the blade is more flaked. There is very minor differentiation between the butt and the blade as the proper right hand side tapers in towards the poll and has a small lug at the poll. The proper left hand side is continuous though. The bevel is demarcated by a faint line at the chin. The cutting edge is sharp and curved towards the proper right hand side. There is a flake near the chin on the proper right hand side.
