Las distinciones entre las personas que ostentan el poder y aquellos que no, es distinguible en Mesoamérica desde los inicios de las sociedades complejas. En este trabajo se hace referencia al uso de los elementos de poder clasificados como barras ceremoniales y bastones de mando, los cuales son identificados en la iconografía desde el período Formativo, sobre todo en lo que respecta a los Olmecas. Esta tradición aún se observa en algunas poblaciones indígenas actuales pero cuyos orígenes podrían remontarse al pasado prehispánico.
