About the Item
Striking Aztec-inspired wall sculpture attributed to the Los Castillo workshop of Taxco, Mexico, circa 1950s. Expertly handcrafted from brass, copper, and malachite inlay, this piece captures the essence of Mexico’s postwar modernist movement, where ancient symbolism met refined craftsmanship.
The relief portrays a stylized Aztec warrior or noble profile, adorned with flowing headdress forms and intricate details reminiscent of Pre-Columbian art. The warm patina of copper and brass contrasts beautifully with the green malachite mosaic, giving the work a rich dimensional presence and historic aura.
This piece reflects the artistry and innovation of Los Castillo, a family atelier renowned for pioneering mixed-metal designs that celebrated Mexican heritage through modernist design. Mounted on a black wooden panel, it’s a powerful focal point for collectors, designers, and admirers of mid-century Mexican craftsmanship.

By Los Castillo
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A striking and highly collectible Pre-Hispanic–style necklace designed and manufactured in Mexico in the 1950s by the renowned workshop Metales Casados. Crafted in a sophisticated blend of copper, brass, and silver accents, the pendant features a dynamic figural motif inspired by ancient Mesoamerican iconography, enriched with shimmering crushed emerald inlay.

The piece embodies the signature style of Metales Casados, known for their fusion of contrasting metals (“metals married together”) and their deep appreciation for Indigenous aesthetics.
The necklace retains its full hallmark:
“Metales Casados, Hecho en México.”

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.
An exceptional example of Mexican contemporary bronze art, ideal for collectors of Latin American sculpture...
