A super rare likely one of a kind vintage 1960s handmade sterling silver Mexican modernist Sun God design brooch by the Emaus workshop in Cuernavaca, Mexico also known as the Talleres Monasticos. An irregular roughly circular shape with a ring of irregular pierced sections around the rim in a hammered spiderweb of silver, all centering a round incised Sun God design with central repousse face of the god. The only example of this design that I have seen, and most of their silver jewelry is one of a kind or very few multiples. I'm guessing another one of the designs by Ernesto Paulsen Camba (1925-2006) who was a Mexican modernist sculptor/architect/designer, and who provided designs for the Emaus workshop in the 1950s and 60s. His architectural and design work was a major part of the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, and he was a contemporary of Clara Porset, Van Beuren and Shoemaker, among others. Measures about 2-3/8" diameter, and weighs 16.2 grams total. Marked at back as shown, "925" for sterling silver, "Emaus" and the Eagle 3. Excellent vintage condition.
