Antonio Pineda Large Silver 970 Modernist Lascaux Cave Art Belt Buckle Mexican

Signed Antonio Pineda Large Polished Belt Buckle. Antonio Pineda was one of the greatest and most innovative of the modernist silver designers of Taxco, Mexico in the mid-20th century. He made elegant, finely crafted jewelry, drawing on a deep visual and cultural background and bringing his pieces gloriously into the modernist aesthetic. This magnificent, large silver shadowbox belt buckle is from a series of pieces said to have been inspired by the cave paintings of Lascaux in France. This is a fabulous piece for any collector of modernist jewelry, or anyone who admires modernist design. The body of the buckle curves in a gentle arc to follow the curve of the body.
