- This is a magnificent 19th Cent.
adze from Geelvink Bay, PNG. Of particular interest is
the old stone that has seen it's day but remains in superb
condition. Lashed onto the hardwood handle with Sennit
binding the adze takes on teh allure of a bird posed for a
strike. Incredible age/patina on this item.
