Collection Record

Adze, Toki

Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface has light flaking all over but the bevel is ground. There is minor differentiation between the butt and the blade with a raised shoulder on the proper left hand side which then tapers in after that. The bevel is demarcated by a minor ridge at the chin. The cutting edge is straight and sharp with some flaking along the edge.
