A metate is a mortar, says Wikipedia. It is a ground stone tool used for processing grain and seeds.

In traditional Mesoamerican culture, metates were typically used by women who would grind calcified maize and other organic materials to make tortillas.

Similar artifacts are found all over the world,[1] including China.[2]
