O soše
Blue traces survive on the fan-shaped Ballgame Palma, made about 900–1100 and now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Scrolls across the stone form grotesque heads seen in profile. Images of ballplayers show palmas rising above hip guards to cover the chest, apparently against the rubber ball. Stone versions are too heavy to wear and may copy lighter playing equipment. The remaining blue indicates that the sculpture once carried stronger colour across its surface. On view in room 233 Mesoamerican and Intermediate Region.
Slovy muzea
In art, ballplayers are shown wearing palmas atop hip protectors like one displayed nearby. The palma covers the chest, as if to insulate it from bruising encounters with the rubber ball. The stone sculptures are too heavy for wear but may mimic the shape of lighter-weight gear used during play. This elegant, fan-shaped palma is adorned with scrolls that form grotesque heads in profile. Traces of blue indicate that like many ancient sculptures it was brightly painted.
