About the Item
A striking mixed-media sculpture by Mexican artist Emilia Castillo for the renowned Los Castillo workshop in Taxco. This stylized figure—reminiscent of a Madonna or cloaked female figure—combines polished silver-plated metal with intricate abalone shell inlays, showcasing the studio’s signature craftsmanship blending traditional silversmith techniques with organic natural materials.
The flowing form, abstract yet deeply emotive, features a faceless head and draped cloak completely adorned with iridescent abalone shell mosaic. The base is also accented with the same shell inlay, unifying the composition in both color and texture. Stamped underneath: Los Castillo, Taxco, Hecho en Mexico, Plateado, TA-01 400.
A captivating decorative object that bridges spiritual symbolism and modern design, ideal for collectors of Latin American decorative arts or lovers of mid-century Mexican silversmithing.
