The rose brooch belongs as another key example of Aguilar’s floral work. The best versions are not simple flower pins; they are dimensional silver objects that depend on petal shaping, surface, and shadow. Marcy Burns describes a circa 1940-1945 Aguilar rose brooch in 940 silver with precise, detailed, sculpted silverwork and a strong rhythmic flower form. It helps avoid over-narrowing Aguilar to Pre-Columbian abstraction.
