TP-102 925 Mexico sterling is a mark of Matilde Eugenia Poulat and her nephew Richardo Salas ( an heir to Matilde's art).
Matl- Matilde Eugenia Poulat first started "Matl" in 1934 and continued designing some the most collectible Taxco silver until her death in 1960. Her designs for jewelry and religious figures were part of the new cultural vision among Mexico's intellectuals after the Revolution when they sought a new Mexican aesthetic. All Matl designs were executed by accomplished silversmiths under her exacting direction. After her death, her nephew, Ricardo Salas, continued the Matl-Salas line until her death in 2006.

It can be worn as a pendant or a brooch, but either way, this exceptional piece took untold hours to make and finish with such fine precision.
It is marked, "Talleres de los Ballesteros, Taxco, Gro., 925, Hecho en Mexico. It also has the design number MM34.
According to Billie Hougart's, The Little Book Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks, Talleres de Los Ballesteros was established in the family's home town of Iguala in 1937 by Jalil Majul Ballesteros. It was a family business that eventually moved to Taxco in 1941. They were known as a very successful manufacturer and retailer.
Their stylized, 'B', is a distinguishing mark on their work, which has changed over time. The mark on this piece was used from 1942-1980.
It measures 2 1/2" across the widest part and 2-1/8" across the other direction, and weighs a hefty 26.5 grams. It is a stunning piece of wearable sculpture. This lovely piece is in excellent vintage condition.
Dimensions: 7/8" diameter .
