From a young age, Mata learned the craft of wood carving and now creates various items, often for singsings, with each pattern holding a unique story. The narrative follows Mata as he embarks on creating a large bowl. He ventures into the bush to select a suitable piece of wood, which he then meticulously carves with his axe. To refine the wood's surface, Mata employs a stingray tail, a traditional tool for smoothing. He then applies black paint to the wooden bowl. The process continues with Mata finding small shells, cutting them, and adhering them around the rim of the bowl. Mata expresses pride in his finished work, noting that the pattern on the bowl symbolizes the sea. The story concludes with a question to the reader, inviting them to interpret the narrative embedded within the carved pattern. This story highlights cultural practices, the artistry of traditional crafts, and the storytelling embedded in cultural expressions.","25-The Wood Carver Man i Kavim Diwai  \nEnglish  \n1  \nMata lives in the Trobriand Islands.  \nWhen Mata was a boy, he learnt to carve wood.
