    Hi All! These earrings defy description (at least to me and I need one for my listing). Marked Mexico TD-30 925. But what is this shape? Are they shamans??? They do have a vaguely humanoid shape. They measure approx 1.5" by 3/4" and weigh in at 10g for both. What do you all think? Thanks for looking and any suggestions! IMG_2882 (1024x765).jpg IMG_2885 (1024x765).jpg

    Don't know, they look like dancing girls. The mark is for a Taxco maker, so you can list them as Taxco sterling silver earrings.
    For a Shaman I'd expect a mask or other attributes, or something that indicates transformation.

    Thanks AJ, you have a good eye. Maybe the 'ruffle' near the bottom indicates a skirt? Good idea!

    I'm seeing women in skirts with shawls over the head.

    The ruffles are probably lace-trimmed underskirts.

    You can add Modernist to the list.

    I got myself busy today and put them up already...I went with Stylized. Think that works too?
