Brooch pendant, 'Fearless Bullfighter'

This brooch pendant resounds with the imaginative fantasy of Mexican traditions. Maria Belen Nilson is inspired by the caricature artistry of Jose Guadalupe Posadas (1852-1913). He is credited for popularizing the Day of the Dead celebrations, especially through the creation of skeletal cartoons that capture the Mexican attitude towards death. The most renowned of these is the Catrin, (meaning "dapper"), who appears as a fearless torero ("bullfighter"). Features a hidden bail for a chain as well as a pin. .925 rating silver.
