Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface is bruised. There is minor differentiation between the butt and the blade although a small section at the poll on the proper left hand side is missing. The bevel is demarcated by a semi-circular line at the chin where the surface changes from ground to bruised. The cutting edge is sharp, oblique and flaked with a chip in the middle.
