This piece is a beautiful example of the Maori Greenstone Adze, or Toki Pou Tangata.  The Maori Adze was primarily used as a large chisel, but was also used in war.  

This ceremonial Maori adze has its handle made from a hard native timber, the Matai.  The adze piece itself is a beautiful slice of New Zealand greenstone, Pounamu.

The Adze comes to you on the display stand shown.  It measures approximately 33cm (13") long and 24cm ( 9 1/2") tall on its stand.

This is a fabulous piece of New Zealand carving, not to mention the beauty of natural greenstone.  It will be a feature piece in your Maori collection.
