This is a rare 19th-century Northwest Coast D-adze or Makah adze with bird effigy carving from the ex-C.M. Russell Museum Great Falls, Montana and John Kleinschmidt collections. This early piece from the 1800’s exhibits a blacksmith rasp file which has been forged with a blade flaring at the end and secured to a carved wood d-shaped handle secured with thick seal like rawhide strand. The back of the handle shows a raven, crow or bird effigy carving in totem form and is from the Northwest Coast, likely Haida or Makah people. These d-adze scrapers were used to form canoes, similar in use to planes, a wood working tool. Provenance: From the John Kleinschmidt collection which was on loan to the C.M.
