A horse gives this money clip its single, confident motif, the figural subject doing all the work on a deliberately small surface. Animal forms reduced to clean silhouette are very much in the Los Castillo idiom.
Los Castillo, founded in Taxco in 1939, applied its design sense across the full range of personal silver, including small accessories like this one (Morrill, p. 166). The money clip shows the workshop's instinct for legible figural form at minimal scale.
Figural money clips by the workshop appear at market only occasionally.
