A striking piece of mid-century Mexican wearable art. This authentic vintage modernist owl brooch/pendant was expertly handcrafted in Taxco, Mexico. It features the distinctive stylistic elements of the celebrated designer Toño (Cecilia Toño).
The stylized owl silhouette showcases a beautiful blend of mixed metals and textures, accented by vibrant, delicate turquoise mosaic inlay surrounding the eyes. The reverse side is equipped with both a secure pin mechanism and a built-in pendant bale, allowing it to be worn gracefully as either a brooch or a necklace.
