Presented in this lot is a large Sterling Silver Flying Bird Brooch, circa 1940s, from Mexico. Brooch is stamped Sterling Mexico on reverse side. The craftsmanship and generous size make this bird a stand alone piece of art. The bird is in a three dimensional design flying downwards. Beginning in the 1930s, silver workshops clustered in the mining town of Taxco spearheaded a revival in this traditional craft in Mexico. At the same time, the artists and artisans working there took a new direction in design that mixed age-old motifs from native cultures with 20th century Modernism. The objects and jewelry they produced have become extremely popular with discerning collectors. Each piece provides a hands-on aesthetic appeal when used or worn. In other words, this silver makes daily life a little more beautiful. This sterling silver brooch is in nice overall condition, a consistent rich patina is noted, no marring noted, total weight is 34 grams, measures 2.75"W x 4.25"L approximately.
