Collection Record
Adze, Toki
Complete adze. The cross section is plano-convex with the front flattened. The surface is ground with some bruising. There is minor differentiation between the butt and the blade as the butt is more bruised than the blade and the proper left hand side has a slightly raised shoulder before tapering in. The bevel is demarcated by a ridge at the chin. The cutting edge has significant flakes along it but is still sharp and is straight.
