Description: | Implements for making an adze-handle (Bedamuni: tebeesu and sopo). Implements for making an adze-handle. The three pieces of flint (tebeesu) are used for scraping liana (éfé) in order to fix an adze at its handle. The three pieces of freshwater shell (sôpô) are used to scrape a hole in the handle to fit the stone adze. A polishing stone such as 1982.63 is also needed to make a stone adze.
All these implements were used whilst this collection was being assembled to make an adze handle. They were bought from Atèba.
