Description: One of the sphere stones exhibited at the National Museum. This spheres have been found across the country and it is believed they had ceremonial significance. The largest found so far in about 3 m in diameter (the large rock plate on the wall is a model of the sphere). The exact techniques used by my forefathers to cut and polish there perfect spheres is still a mystery.
