A metatl, also known as a metate, is a traditional Mesoamerican grinding stone. It typically consists of a flat or slightly concave stone slab and a hand-held grinding stone called a mano. The metate and mano are used together to grind and pulverize various food items, most notably maize (corn), but also other grains, seeds, and spices. Metates were crucial tools in the preparation of staple foods and were used by indigenous cultures in Mexico and Central America, including the Aztec and Maya civilizations..
