I have a special affinity for early Mexican silver brooches - the bigger they are, the deeper I fall in love with them and it wasn't difficult to become infatuated with the unusual example offered here. I have not seen this design before and I find its combination of amethyst and hand-cut quartz beads truly stunning. The flower's starburst formation is also unique - a dizzying beauty...

Each shaker is 3 3/8” tall by approx. 1 3/4” wide (largest diameter at the top) and the pair weighs 104.5 grams...

Some of these masks would however be old and used as burlesque masks during the various festivals.
