中美洲棒球运动员会穿戴护具，称为哈查、帕尔马斯和轭，以保护臀部和腹部免受实心橡胶球的冲击。在绘画和雕塑中，轭被佩戴在球员臀部周围，帕尔马或哈查则系在前面。在积极比赛中使用的护具很可能由木头或其他轻质材料制成；而石制护具（如这件）则在与球赛相关的仪式中佩戴，或作为展示品。鉴于每件哈查的设计都独具特色，佩戴的护具和石刻护具可能都用于识别球队或个人。
哈查这个名字指的是许多作品的斧头形状（哈查在西班牙语中是斧头的意思），包括这里看到的这个。这些作品的形状很独特，背部比正面略宽，两侧汇聚成一个尖角。面部特征和其他细节都以浅浮雕形式雕刻，每一面都是另一面的镜像。 在这里，艺术家描绘了主题的详细渲染。每根头部羽毛都经过精心渲染，从前到后浮雕深度增加，模仿秃鹫羽毛在自然界中的重叠方式。脸颊的圆形、长而弯曲的张嘴和钻孔鼻孔以及凹陷的大眼睛暗示着这只鸟在监视和关注猎物时非常警觉。
