Materials and Features:

• "Metales Casados" (Married Metals) Technique: A complex artisanal process where brass, copper, and silver-tone elements are hand-fitted and soldered onto a hammered base.

• Tri-Tone Twisted Wire Frame: A hand-plaited rope border utilizing three distinct metallic alloys for high-contrast architectural framing.

• Hand-Hammered "Peened" Field: A deeply textured, oxidized backplate that provides a rustic "Machine Age" backdrop for the high-relief figural dancer.

• Figural Aztec/Indigenous Motif: Detailed central figure featuring hand-etched plumage and ceremonial staff, characteristic of the Tlaquepaque regional style.

• High-Density Artisan Build: A substantial, heavy-gauge construction designed for statement wear on a thick leather cord or heavy chain.

• Age/Origin: c. 1940’s – 1950’s / Mexico

• Marks: Tlaquepaque, FCS (Makers Mark), Cobre (Copper)

Measurements:

• Weight: 32g (Exceptional Heavy-Gauge Mass)

• Dimensions: Approx. 3.25 Inch height (including loop) x 2.25 Inch width

Condition: Good vintage "Survivor" condition. The mixed metals show an honest, aged patina with areas of oxidation that highlight the hand-hammered texture. The twisted wire frame is structurally sound; the hanging loop shows a minor mechanical gap consistent with its 70-year history.
