Veracruz Volcanic Stone Palma - Serpent Head

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $3200**

Mexico, Vera Cruz / Veracruz, ca. 700 to 900 CE. A beautiful carved gray volcanic stone palma depicting a stylized head of a serpent. Size: 7"L x 2-1/2"W.

Classic Veracruz produced three kinds of stone objects symbolic of the actual equipment used in the game: Yokes, hachas (axes), and palmas (long, narrow stones). Stone yokes are the ritual counterparts of leather-and-wood yokes worn around a player's waist to protect him from the heavy rubber ball. Hachas and palmas were set on the yoke, in front of the player, possibly to help control the ball or as a component of the ceremonial dress. Hachas may have been used also as markers along the sides of the court.
