Description
Tool made of volcanic igneous rock shaped by chipping and polishing to create an axe-like cutting tool. It has a rectangular shape with convex faces and edges, joined directly and continuously. The butt is pointed and rounded while the cutting edge is convex and symmetrical. The cross-section is oval. The surface is pecked. It has a recess on one side, from the edge to the centre of the piece, making this face is flatter.
