Description from the seller
Special Mexican brooch from Taxco, executed in solid 925 sterling silver and inlaid with real turquoise and chrysocolla.
The brooch depicts a stylized Mesoamerican ceremonial figure or dancer, with a striking headdress and raised arms. The turquoise and green-blue stone inlay is mosaic-like in the silver; at the ends of both arms there are round turquoise cabochons.
