V I N T A G E // caught by the tail / sterling silver Taxco Mexico articulated wiggle fish / a pendant
a classic, handmade, vintage Taxco Mexico articulated fish that's unusual in that the bail is at the tail, rather than the mouth, as is usually typical for articulated fish — maybe more of a catch and release situation?
turquoise colored eyes, though it's unclear if they're stone or faux
solid sterling silver and missing the original Taxco bail and tag

in good vintage condition
wiggles beautifully, no damage to the movement mechanisms
this is a handmade piece and none of the scales or engraved surface details are uniform
heavy, inconsistent patina throughout the brushed almost florentine finish on the surface of the fish
turquoise colored eyes have a dull surface, not a high polish
it's missing its original bail and tag that would have attributed its origin to Taxco
this is a vintage item and will show surface scratches, dents, dings, dulling, wear, patina, and signs of having been worn and loved
