Abstract
Las figurillas del periodo Formativo (2300 a.C.-100 d.C.), de la Cuenca de México, modeladas en barro, antropomorfas y sólidas, se distinguen por ser representaciones realistas, y al parecer, algunas de ellas son versiones a escala que muestran personajes, es decir, son pequeñas esculturas inspiradas en algunos miembros de la comunidad que se destacan por sus atributos o parafernalia. Estos atributos son indicadores de un claro reconocimiento de diferenciación social, asociados con personajes que desempeñaban roles específicos dentro de la sociedad y que, al parecer, son recreaciones de jugadores de pelota.
Figurines from the Formative period (2300 b.C.-100 a.C.) in the Mexican Basin, modeled out of clay, solid and anthropomorphic are distinguished for being realistic representations, and it seems like some of them are scale versions that recreate characters, which means that they are small sculptures inspired in some members of the community which stand out with differentiating attributes or paraphernalia. These attributes indicate clear social difference recognition, associated with characters which had specific roles inside the society and that seem to be ballplayer representations.
