Description:
The yoke, worn around the waist of a ball player, was used to hit or deflect a fast-moving rubber ball. They were probably made of animal skins and plant materials. Wearing a stone yoke does increase the ball's speed and the distance it travels. Stone yokes are found in elite burials and probably not used during a ballgame. The stone on this piece is scratched and has a few chips. However, the overall condition is good.
