This is a vintage Mexican silver cuff that fits up to a 7.25in. wrist and is properly hallmarked and signed Salvador and design #178. This is a book piece in "William Spratling and the Mexican Silver Renaissance" pg.131. The safety chain has been removed and is easy to replace but many find them cumbersome. Any Salvador Teran piece is a grand addition to a collection and being a book piece makes this is a good one! I have left this piece in its unpolished condition with wonderful patina. There are no repairs or breaks only tarnish and it is in great condition.
The shape of this piece arcs so beautifully on the arm. The repousse is heavy and wraps all the way around with swirls encircling the deity with a headdress. The cuff weighs 73 grams and is 2.5 inches tall for a grand presence. The gap is 1.25in. and the diameter is 2 5/16th's making a very comfy fit. There is a dark natural patina on the piece and you will see many other specs dappled all over. Condition is superb and I will leave any cleaning a choice of the lucky new owner. The hallmark reads STERLING and underneath in a tiny line reads MEXICO that seemed impossible to photograph.
