Tool made from volcanic igneous rock shaped by chipping and polishing to create an adze-like cutting tool. The remaining part is rectangular with an elliptical cross-section, and the faces are convex and linked directly and continuously. The butt has not been preserved. The area of the cutting edge is symmetrical, convex and damaged by several blows. The surface is completely polished, and there are small striations which may correspond to polishing marks.
