About the Item

This dimensional early signed mid century modern rare Bernice Goodspeed fabulous pin or pendant is hallmarked on the back "sterling taxco B Mexico."It has blackened sterling mixed with sterling silver with abstractions of design inspired by her archaeological finds and her studies of the indians of Central Mexico.This is collectable... It serves as a dual purpose... as a pin or pendant... both having the bar and loop for a chain... There is no chain that goes with this. Bernice Goodspeed was an American born cultural anthropologist and settled in Mexico City in 193 to complete her studies. While working as a tour guide to ancient sites she met the Hungarian artist named Carl Pappe with whom she married in 1935. They then moved to Taxco and opened up a studio and gallery. Bernice's designs incorporate columbian motifs and have great influence of Aztec and Mayan stonework as exemplified in this rare pin/ brooch/ necklace pendant. This is a very early design of hers done in the early 40's. One just needs a great sterling silver chain at your end.
