[QUOTE="mayart, post: 639432, member: 8864"][ATTACH=full]183251[/ATTACH] Hi I was hoping someone could help me identify this brooch. It is an old family piece. Appears to be handmade, sterling silver beautifully designed silver frame set with a green stone (jade or maybe green onyx?). The stone has a crudely carved mask (mayan/aztec god?). The back is solid and the only mark I can find is what appears to be a stamp which, from what I can make out says "Mexico". The closure looks to be a simple "c" clasp. It is fairly large and a beautiful piece. Any help regarding era/age or other info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks![/QUOTE]
