This brooch belongs because it represents the historically important Aguilar-Coro wartime relationship. Morrill/Berk note that a Coro circle hallmark appears on Borda-related work and that Taller Borda produced for Coro during the war. That matters because it shows Aguilar’s designs entering a broader American commercial channel, not merely the elite Taxco tourist/collector market. The interlocking motif also reflects the clay-stamp-derived design vocabulary.
