This armadillo buckle reflects Hector Aguilar's practice of carrying his design vocabulary across the full range of personal accessories his Taxco workshop produced, belt buckles among them. As a maker central to the silver revival of Taxco, his buckles are part of the broader body of wearable silver that defined the school.
Worked in silver as an armadillo-form buckle, the piece comes from the workshop Aguilar ran as the Taller Borda, the enterprise he built in Taxco in the decades after William Spratling launched the town's silver revival in the 1930s.
