Mexican Deco silver Band Ring in a Hector Aguilar design

$0.00
SOLD

Based on Hector Aguilar's often referred to as the "fertility" parure, this anonymous Mexican Deco sterling silver band ring is a rare find. I love the combination of the two cross motif variations, the hand-chased details and the sense of depth enhanced with oxidation. Interestingly enough, though, and if I remember correctly, when asked about the specific design's meaning in an interview many years ago, Aguilar said that this was the sign the Aztec used to mark locations with gold deposits…

Size / Weight: sz 7.5 US (not resizable due to the repeating pattern); 5/8" wide; 8.7 grams

Hallmarks / Date: "MEXICO 925" and "TAXCO STERLING"; 1940s

Condition:
excellent vintage with wonderfully glowing patina, an interesting, iconic design and no damage or repairs noted

Inv# 16000
