Physical description
Narrow, dark, coarse stone blade that is wedge-shaped. Grooved along the top face toward the butt end to hold the hafting securely. Was originally lashed with hide strips (now wired) to a carved wood hafting platform with an acutely-angled branch providing a handle. Hide strips are looped and attached around the handle.
