Bidspirit auction | Sterling Silver Aztec Pendant


Sterling Silver Aztec Pendant - Exceptional hand-fabricated sterling silver pendant marked 925 and tested as genuine sterling, measuring 5 inches long by 2 3/4 inches wide. The teardrop form showcases masterful Art Deco-inspired design with layered open-work construction framing a central Aztec medallion, flanked by four smooth domed stone settings and topped with a stylized feathered headdress motif. The reverse displays equally intricate geometric patterning and lattice work throughout. Fine detail work includes radiating sun rays, serpent or animal head elements, and period-appropriate ornamentation consistent with 1920s-1940s high-end sterling craftsmanship. Weight of 29.5 dwt confirms substantial silver content. Surface shows light patina and age-appropriate wear consistent with vintage handling; no damage, dents, or repairs noted. A striking statement piece that would anchor any serious vintage sterling or Aztec-revival collection.
