| This brooch is a wonderful treasure of the Mexican silver repousse tradition of Colonial silversmithing. The dove is a moving hanging piece on a frame of silver. The hallmark is incomplete but appears to have been Plateria Panamericana as described in Bille Hougart's hallmark reference book. Very much in the style of Matilde Poulat MATL. Measures 2-1/3" wide and 2" long. The dove is a recurrent and iconic motif in Mexican culture. Having its roots perhaps as a symbol of love and the promise of the lover to come back. Since the early 19th C when the song La Paloma was popularized in Mexico at the time of Maximilian: "Si a tu ventana llega Una Paloma, Trátala con cariño, Que es mi persona. Cuéntale tus amores, Bien de mi vida, Corónala de flores, Que es cosa mía." COLLECTOR QUALITY | ||||||||
