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.

Whimsical Bronze Sculpture by Francisco del Toro, Mexico, 1992
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Expressive and evocative bronze sculpture by Francisco del Toro (Mexican, Guerrero, 20th century), signed Del Toro ’92. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases del Toro’s mastery in merging organic abstraction with emotional figuration, embodying both movement and introspection through its fluid, surreal form.
The elongated figure, perched on a solid stone base, reveals a captivating dialogue between smooth, polished surfaces and rugged, textured elements — a hallmark of del Toro’s sculptural language. The patinated bronze transitions in tone from deep forest green to earthy bronze, emphasizing the interplay between form, texture, and light.
Del Toro’s work often explores the human spirit’s resilience and transformation, with this particular sculpture exuding both strength and vulnerability. The head, seemingly emerging from raw material, evokes a timeless and almost mythological presence, while the sensuous curvature of the body connects to themes of fertility and creation found in Mexican modernist sculpture.
