A large and rare c1950 sterling silver zodiac pendant depicting scales for Libra, made by the Mexico-based jeweler Margot de Taxco. Hangs on an unusual 30 inch long niello guard chain, likely dating to c1900.
Niello is a black mixture of copper, silver, and lead inlaid into engraved silver. It's a centuries old technique, but it was particularly popular in France, Germany, and Russia at the end of the 19th century.
