Volcanic Tools
Surprisingly, the Rapa Nui people’s tools were also just as fascinating as the statues. Well, the tools, called Mata, were made into several shapes and sizes from volcanic glass. Of course, the tools needed to be very sharp so they could carve into wood, cut fibers and even become weapons when needed. Throughout the world’s museum exhibitions, you can find these Rapa Nui tools.
