Description
This pin has a "primitive" carved green stone face or mask in a filigree sterling silver setting. It was made in Mexico, probably in the 1950's. The back is marked "Sterling" and "Hecho en", but at some point the "Mexico" disappeared, possibly during a past repair to the clasp, which certainly looks well attached now. This pin may also be worn as a pendant, with a chain threaded through the loop on the back. It is in very good to excellent condition, unpolished, although its new owner can do this easily if you'd prefer it to be shiny.
