Hearst Museum object titled Adze, accession number 11-38519, described as Adze with greenstone blade attached to wood handle; rattan binding; used mainly for shaping Casuarina wood planks for houses and as a general cutting tool carried around by the men hooked over one shouler or over the head (in the carrying net on long trips). Women sometimes also owned adzes but carry them only in the net. For splitting the Casuarina they use wood wedges driven with a stone into sections of trunk cut with the adze.
