A sculptural vintage 1980s signed handmade hammered bronze Modernist pre Columbian deity Tlaloc Chahk Lightning God design brooch. Entirely handmade hand fabricated cut and hammered from behind in a modernist design recalling pre-Columbian art depicting a lightning god either Chahk of the Maya, or perhaps Tlaloc of the Aztec. He has three lightning bolts across his chest, and his arms are raised in warning to his opponents! No doubt a one of a kind piece of wearable modernist art! Measures 3-5/8" tall by 2.25" wide, and weighs just over 15 grams total. There are two marks on the back of his feet. They look like a lightly etched maker mark, possibly "MW" and on the other foot it looks like a date, possibly "88" or "87". Looks like they were done more than once, so hard to say for sure. In any case, the brooch speaks for itself! An amazing one of a kind piece of wearable art that has its roots in pre Columbian cultures! Excellent vintage condition.
