Matl jewelry belongs to a distinctly Mexican strand of the Taxco silver tradition. Under the mark established by Matilde Poulat, the workshop is known for richly worked, ornamental silver in the repoussé manner, rooted in Mexican folk and devotional sources. A pin under the mark sits firmly in that lineage.
The bird motif here is one of the recurring subjects in the Matl repertoire, worked in silver. The character of the piece comes from the workshop's dense handwork.
