A large and impressive bracelet made in Mexico City as judged by the specific repoussage technique. These masquettes became fashionable as part of the Modernist movement in Mexico and were considered Neo Aztec. They were actually inspired by the contemporaneous excavations of Teotihuacan near Mexico City.

A rare and unique Los Castillo clamper bracelet. This bracelet is as gorgeous as it photographs and as well made as all Los Castillo pieces. This is an early piece and it is hallmarked with the linear block typeface they used originally. The bracelet appears to have the Margot design influence of the period. Closes tight and adapts to most arms due to the spring hinge. It is 2 inches wide on the front and one inch wide in the back. 60g of weight. COLLECTOR QUALITY
