Ancient Mesoamerican Stone Metate. This three legged diagonally slanted object is a traditional grinding stone used by ancient civilizations in Central and South America to process grains, seeds, maize. An accompanying tool called a mano would be held with both hands and raked up and down to break apart the objects upon it, and both were usually made from volcanic rocks like basalt or lava stone. Today this form is still in use in some remote parts of the region by descendants of the Mayan, Aztec, Zapotec and other civilizations, primarily in creating tortilla dough. 

Provenance: Purchased from the California Academy of Sciences. Damaged in the 1906 Earthquake.  

Size: 20 1/2 x 13 1/4 x 11 in.
