Bold taxco mexico enamel aztec monkey pendant brooch sterling silver snake chain 4.8cm 27.81g

This very large sterling silver pendant-brooch features a domed disc measuring 4.8cm across, inlaid with glossy black enamel forming a stylised Aztec monkey figure. The reverse is marked 925 MEXICO TC-129, denoting Taxco origin under the post-1979 registry system. It is fitted with a rollover safety clasp and a wide pendant bail (so can be word as pendant or brooch), and comes with an 18" 925-marked snake chain and spring ring clasp. Total weight is 27.81g. The design depicts Ozomatli, the Aztec monkey deity linked to dance, music and playfulness. Taxco silversmiths in the late 20th century frequently reinterpreted pre-Columbian motifs, combining ancient symbolism with bold, modernist forms. The domed disc and high-contrast enamel work draw from mid-century Mexican silver traditions, while the hallmark and clasp type suggest production in the 1980s–1990s. It represents the enduring Taxco practice of adapting cultural heritage into striking, wearable art.#taxco#mexicosilver#sterlingsilver#925silver#enameljewellery#aztecstyle#ozomatli#precolumbian#pendantbrooch#discpendant#vintagemexican#snakechain#modernist#statementpendant#tc129J11099
