Built on an Aztec-derived design, this sterling bracelet draws on the pre-Columbian iconography that runs through Los Castillo's jewelry, the workshop translating ancient Mexican sources into wearable modern silver. The Aztec motif gives the band its rhythm and identity.
The Castillo brothers founded their Taxco workshop in 1939 after training under William Spratling, and pre-Columbian subjects were among the threads that defined their output. An Aztec-themed sterling bracelet of this kind is among the more recognizable types from the workshop and is sought by collectors of Mexican modernist silver.
