Jeronimo Fuentes Margot Mexico 925 Enamel Aztec Head Dress Dancer Pin

This is a vintage Mic-Century Modern Mexican Sterling Silver and Guilloche Enamel Brooch by renowned Taxco artisan Jerónimo Fuentes in the 1950's to 1970's. He was known for his exquisite enamel work. Fuentes worked with Margot de Taxco where he practiced and perfected the enamel inlay technique before going on his own. The pin is depicting a stylized Aztec dancer or sun dancer holding a vibrant, multi-colored fan headdress. There are numerous color versions of this pin that are similar. This one has blue in the outer band of the fan and a red loin cloth on the warrior. The colors here are still vibrant and the pin will look stunning once the sterling is polished. While I haven't polished the silver on this, you can see from the photo the back is stamped JF which is his signature. The brooch stands 1 5/8 inches and is 1 3/8 inches at its widest point.
