This adze is a basic Northwest Coast wood-working tool. The long steel blade of this adze is attached to the hardwood handle with screws. The upper end of the handle is carved to represent the head of an animal, apparently a bear, with a large Nootka-style eye, crosshatched nostril, and massive, exposed teeth. The eyesockets and teeth are painted red. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
