The seated figure is inspired by pre-Columbian Aztec and Maya imagery, featuring an elaborate zoomorphic headdress accented with genuine malachite cabochons, lapis lazuli embellishment, and matching green stone earrings. Intricate sterling silver detailing decorates the collar, armbands, and front panel, showcasing fine Mexican silversmithing alongside expert lapidary craftsmanship. Rich in texture and symbolism, this sculptural work makes a distinctive addition to collections of Mexican folk art, ethnographic décor, or vintage lapidary sculpture. See less
