The ahnetjer ( Manuel de Codage transliteration: aH-nTr) depicted as an adze-like instrument, was used in the Opening of the Mouth ceremony, intended to convey power over their senses to statues and mummies. Examples of Egyptian adzes can be found in museums.Ī depiction of an adze was also used as a hieroglyph, representing the consonants stp, “chosen”, and used as: …Pharaoh XX, chosen of God/Goddess YY… While stone blades were fastened to the wooden handle by tying, metal blades had sockets into which the handle was fitted. Originally the adze blades were made of stone, but already in the Predynastic Period, copper adzes had all but replaced those made of flint. The adze is depicted in ancient Egyptian art from the Old Kingdom onward. The handle is cylindrical with a flared base, with the ends in an ovoid head with the suggestion of a nasal ridge and circular ears. The Adze composed of a wood handle and an iron blade with a curved flared end. Its short chopping swing and its form recall the short-handled hoe, which was the traditional agricultural tool. The adze is used for carving masks and statuettes, as well as bowls, spoons, stools, and otherNEW PRODUCT utilitarian objects. In much of Africa, the tool of choice for carving is the adze.
