The choker at hand, a reinterpretation of a pre-Colombian motif within the context of the mid-20th c. is simply ...

Big, with pronounced repoussage, a series of beautiful turquoise cabs crowning the crest of the creature's shell, this vintage Mexican Deco figural brooch was most probably made in the country's capital as its workmanship indicates.
