Description: A mid-century Mexican artisan brooch featuring a central hand-carved black onyx cabochon depicting a traditional warrior or tribal face in relief. The stone is secured in a smooth bezel and framed by a decorative scalloped or "sunburst" gallery. The central motif is flanked by two wide, horizontal bars featuring deep linear engravings and accented by small silver beads. The reverse is fitted with a period-appropriate straight pin and a C-clasp mechanism. While unmarked, the metal purity has been verified as .900 silver via XRF analysis. The brooch exhibits a soft, natural aged patina with significant oxidation in the recessed areas, highlighting the carved features and geometric silverwork. A classic example of Mexican souvenir jewelry from the mid-20th century.
