    DescriptionA Mexican silver filigree brooch, shaped like a flower, features a three-tiered design. The base layer is comprised of five large petals with scalloped edges, intricately adorned with various-sized rosettes and leaf-like forms filled with lattice work. This design is replicated in a second layer of smaller petals. Two small petals featuring lattice work form the final layer at the center of the piece.
