This is one of Matilde Poulat's most loved designs. It has become so rare to find one of her earliest pieces of the fish dangles that I am offering an MS-12 Matl Salas signed and hallmarked for after 1980 fish design. Salas worked with his aunt since she opened her shop. She died in 1960 and Salas continued with her shop producing the master pieces that we love. The Matl plaque is a double strike and is quite clear. The length is 21 inches long and has a dark natural patina...

Without shoes and wearing only hand hewn sandals they would wander about some silent and some preaching. Miss matched, this is a typical pair of Sadhu's sandals, hand carved and well worn and polished through years of foot contact.

This is an old Chinese carpentry tool. It was used the same as today's carpenter's "chalk line". The bowl would be filled with powdered charcoal and the string would be pulled through the bowl, and a straight line would be snapped. The string would be rewound by tuning the "crank handle". Older carpenters frequently made their own tool and the carving on this one is very well done, a dragons head floating in a wave pattern. Note the hand made string...very rare...

Undoubtedly one of Villasana's most ornate bracelets, this one betrays an almost Art Nouveau-ish influence with its elaborate repoussage flowing in all directions. The patina here adds the final touch to a true Taxco masterpiece. The bracelet has an inner ci...
