Vintage 1960s PLATA 925 sterling silver Mexico sleeping man donkey turquoise pin
Wow! This is an amazing piece that tells a story! It is large and packs a whole scene in one brooch. At the center is a man sleeping having his afternoon nap, siesta, while wearing his sombrero. He holds a rope in his hand keeping his donkey close. The donkey doesn''t appear to want to sleep ;). On either sides of them is a prickly pear cactus and a saguaro cactus. The cactus is adorned with three beautiful different colored turquoise that are bezel set. Stamped "PLATA 925 MEXICO." Plata is Spanish for silver. Pin and roll-over clasp slightly wonky, nothing that affects wear. Vintage 1960s piece with tons of stunning natural patina, left on for collectors. Price is very firm, thanks!
