Haft from a Ceremonial Adze

Cleveland Museum of Art

Brown wooden haft from a ceremonial adze, featuring a long, thin body with an intricate geometric pattern of squares on four sides. The body tapers from a wider base to a narrower top. A woven cord made of light-colored fibers wraps around the top. The top features a rounded conical shape with a slightly curved edge. The object casts a small shadow to the right.
