A super rare vintage late 1940s early 1950s handmade sterling silver pre Columbian Aztec Mayan Figure design pin/pendant brooch created by Ana Nunez de Brilanti for her shops Victoria and Cony in Taxco. A magnificent example of the highly-detailed hand work created by the Victoria Taller in the 1940s and 1950s in Taxco! A three-dimensional 'face' atop a detailed 'head dress', and with two dangling 'earrings' that each have three dangling bead-tipped wire dangles of their own that all move with the movement of the wearer! Such a beauty, and the only example of this design that I have run across ever! Can be worn on a chain as shown (chain not included), or as a pin/brooch as well. Could also be worn on a neckring, or a black velvet cord would be incredible! Measures 2-3/8" tall by 1-5/8" wide by over 3/8" thickest point, and weighs a substantial 21 grams total. Fully marked at back as shown, "Victoria Mexico Taxco Sterling Cony 576" and Eagle 12. Excellent vintage condition.

Carved between 1200 and 1500 AD, this rare 29-inch Aztec standing figure was once a standard bearer. He wears a loincloth with a large knot at the front, and his left hand is clenched, ready to hold a ceremonial pole. His chest still bears two shallow holes... evidence of inlays now lost to time. Made of gray basalt with striking facial features and a simplified form, this sculpture speaks of ritual, strength, and sacred duty.
