A vintage inlaid pendant crafted by artisans in Taxco, Mexico, incorporating pre-Columbian styles. This style of jewelry is known as "Metales Casados," characterized by the combination of different metals. The design features abstract figures resembling mythical characters or the faces (masks) of warriors, reminiscent of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. The materials used are primarily copper and brass, with the background inlaid with crushed turquoise or azurite-like blue-green stones. The crushed stones are arranged on the back, resulting in a unique pattern for each piece, making them all one-of-a-kind. It blends mid-century (mid-20th century) modern style with indigenous traditional motifs. This type of jewelry is widely produced in the Taxco region of Mexico, and each piece is handcrafted by artisans, making it a masterpiece that reflects their dedication.
