The elongated form and articulated legs give the piece a strong sculptural presence, while the silver plating provides a refined contrast to the underlying copper structure.

Animal-form objects were a hallmark of Los Castillo’s Taxco workshop, blending Mexican modernism with playful symbolism and exceptional craftsmanship. This grasshopper example stands out for its scale, balanced silhouette, and decorative versatility—working equally well as a tabletop sculpture, shelf accent, or conversation piece within a curated modern interior.

A collectible and visually striking example of mid-century Mexican design.
