Summary
[edit]DescriptionMesoamerica - manopla and ball.jpg |
A solid rubber ball used or similar to those used in the Mesoamerican ballgame, from Kaminaljuyu, 300 BC to 250 AD. With a manopla, or handstone, used to strike the ball, also from Kaminaljuyu, 900 BC to 250 AD. The ball is 3 inches (almost 8 cm) in diameter, a size that suggests it was used to play a hand ball. A mitten-shaped space has been carved out for the player's hand. The handstone was probably strapped in place. The far side of the stone is worn nearly smooth where it struck the ball, putting spin on it. Traces of rubber still adhere to the surface. |
