Adze, Toki
Complete adze. Speckled green stone. The cross-section is trapezoidal with the back narrower than the front. The surface is mostly ground, with bruising on the front of the butt and some flake scars. The difference in surface and a reduction in the stone distinguishes the butt from the blade. The bevel is smooth and continuous with the blade. The cutting edge is curved and sharp.
