This extraordinary turquoise and silver bracelet features a wonderful old Aztec/Mayan motif. The bracelet is comprised of alternating solid, cast silver links in 2 different dimensional designs. There are five rectangular links depicting the Aztec Sun God Tonatiuh. Each figural link is accented with a bezel set Persian turquoise cabochon. The figural links alternate with 5 narrower rectangular scalloped links, joined together by soldered silver rings. The hook closure is stamped, Silver Mexico, which dates it prior to 1948. Mexican silversmiths did not start using the eagle mark until 1948.
The bracelet is at least 925 silver but most likely made from a higher grade silver as most of the older pieces used 930-980 silver.
The bracelet measures 7-1/8" long by 1" wide. It is in very good condition with a small flaw or chip to one of the turquoise cabochons which I've shown in the last picture.
