Basque pelota is the universal term for a variety of court sports played with a ball using one's hand, a racket, a wooden bat or a basket, against a wall or, more traditionally and as seen on this plaque, between two teams separated by a line on the ground or a net. The roots of this class of games can be traced to Greek and other ancient cultures, hence the iconography on the reverse
