Easter Tools

Tools that the people of Rapa Nui used were called Mata. These tools were made out of the volcanic glass and carved in different shapes and sizes. As expected, most of these tools were sharp as they were used to cut fiber, wood or used as weapons. These tools are one of the most basic and popular features found in the Rapa Nui exhibitions and museums around the globe.
