Adze, Toki

Complete adze. The cross section is rectangular. The surface is bruised. There is minor differentiation between the butt and the blade as the sides taper in towards the poll and a slightly raised shoulder on the proper left hand side. The bevel is demarcated by a ridge at the chin. The cutting edge is curved and straight with flaking along it and a chip missing from the proper right hand side.
