The silver belt was one of Hector Aguilar's defining contributions to Mexican modernist jewelry, and the armadillo design carries that legacy in a distinctly Mexican register. Working out of the Taller Borda in Taxco, the workshop he founded after his years with William Spratling, Aguilar turned the belt into a serious object of design rather than a mere accessory.
Made in silver across the long arc of Aguilar's Taller Borda production, the armadillo belt belongs to the workshop's most characteristic territory, where wearable silver was built to be substantial and worn.
