The vaqueta ball (Valencian: pilota de vaqueta, ; vaqueta meaning "little cow") is the kind of ball used to play some Valencian pilota variants: Escala i corda, Galotxa and Raspall. Its name derives from the fact that it's made of bull's skin, hence its black colour (that tends to become brown as it's used), this way the ball contrasts with the white colour of the trinquets' walls.
