You mean from the ancient Mesoamerican ball game? It was a solid rubber ball, weighting between 1.4 and 2.7 kg (3-6 lb) and averaging a diameter of 30 cm (1 ft).

It was a game similar to Racquetball or volleyball, where the object was to keep the solid rubber ball in play. In formal games, the losing team members were sacrificed to the ancient Mesoamerican gods. Due to the extremely brutal game mechanics - even without the human sacrifice - it is now played just for representation purposes.
