Mexican Sterling Silver Pendant Back
This is the reverse side of a circular pendant, likely made of sterling silver, given the '925' purity mark. The metal has a slightly dulled, aged silver appearance with a visible patina and some surface scratches, indicating wear consistent with a vintage or used item. The circular form is smooth with a slightly irregular edge, suggesting it might be handcrafted or has experienced minor deformations over time. At the top, there is an integrated, raised bail or loop for hanging, which appears sturdy. Prominently stamped on the back are several discernible markings: 'C&O' or 'CRO' (partially obscured), 'TALLEY' or 'TALLEL,' 'MEXICO,' and '925.' The 'HECHO EN MEXICO' mark clearly indicates its origin. These markings collectively suggest the pendant is a product of a Mexican silver studio, possibly from Taxco, a renowned silver-making region. The craftsmanship appears solid, typical of classic Mexican silverwork. Given the style of the markings and the commonality of such jewelry, it likely dates from the mid-20th century, possibly 1940s-1970s. The visible condition issues relate primarily to surface wear and patination, which are generally acceptable for an item of this age and material; there are no obvious severe dents, cracks, or repairs visible.
