Very good condition, with original patina.
An antique, unhallmarked silver brooch, likely of Mexican origin, adorned with genuine cabochons of natural turquoise. This rare piece features a clustered composition of stones forming a stylized face, a direct reference to the symbolic imagery of pre-Columbian cultures such as the Aztecs or Mixtecs.
Its style evokes mid-20th-century craft traditions, blending spirituality, folk art, and ancestral inspiration. The irregular, organic setting, entirely handmade, confirms traditional production, likely intended for the local or tourist market of the time.
A brooch with strong aesthetic and symbolic value, to wear or to collect.
