Stone Gloves
We have been working on developing a character whose main weapons are stone gloves, but do you know what did the pre-Hispanic gloves look like?
To answer this question, we must go back to the amazing work of Taube and Zender, American gladiators: ritualistic boxing in ancient Mesoamerica, where we can find several representations of brawlers and gloves made out of shells, bones or stone.
The use of these gloves is shared among the Olmec, Zapotec and Maya cultures and it is also featured in the outfit of some gods such as Chaac, who wears a great stone glove which he uses to light up the sky during storms.
