Description

Guatemala, Maya
700 - 900 AD

Stone, 27 x 20 cm

Provenance:
Emile Deletaille, Brussels
Galerie Joaquin Pecci, Brussels

Sculpted and painted images of the Mesoamerican ballgame show players wearing several items of protective gear called hachas, palmas, and yokes, including some form of padding around their torsos to lessen the impact of the solid rubber ball to protect their hips and abdomens from the impact. Those used during active play were most likely made of wood or some other light material; stone versions such as this one were worn, if at all, during ballgame-related rituals, or placed on display. Given the distinctive design of each hacha, both those worn and those carved in stone may have served to identify teams or individuals.This hacha represents a monkey's head. Among the Maya, the howler monkey god is a great deity of the arts, including music, and a patron of artisans, especially scribes and sculptors.
