A Pair of Mexican Sterling Silver Morning Star Openwork Drop Earrings
Description
A matched pair of drop earrings crafted in sterling silver with an articulated two-part design. The top section consists of a small hemispherical dome featuring a crescent-shaped cutout and a post backing. Suspended from this is a larger hollow spherical drop decorated with an intricate openwork pattern of repeating five-pointed stars. The reverse of one post plate is struck with a circular registration mark containing the purity mark 925 followed by the letters TA and numbers 10. The remaining characters within the mark are not clearly legible.
Weight: 14 grams.
Condition report:
The earrings are in good vintage condition with significant surface oxidation and a dark patina throughout, particularly concentrated within the recessed areas of the openwork design (photo 1). Minor surface scratches and abrasions consistent with use are visible upon close inspection. The earrings are missing their butterfly friction backings (photo 2).
