Tanned skin orb

A leather ball is a ball made from animal hide, typically used in sports.

Cricket, baseball, and certain footballs traditionally use leather balls, valued for their grip, durability, and how they respond to spin or stitching.

The bowler polished one side of the leather ball to help it swing.
