This vintage sterling silver bird brooch was crafted in Taxco, Mexico, by the renowned silversmith workshop of Juan Sandoval Vasquez (Two Trees).

According to reference guides on Mexican silver (such as Penny Chittim Morrill's Mexican Silver), TS-79 is the registered mark for Juan Sandoval Vasquez. He operated a prominent studio known as Two Trees, which produced distinctive modernist and figural jewelry during the late 1970s and 1980s.

I chose to preserve the original patina, which protects its historical integrity, sharp details, and value for collectors.
