This brooch/pendant has a wonderfully fluid dancer made out of copper.
It is very difficult to join different metals. Chato Castillo (the brother of Antonio Castillo, who founded Los Castillo) invented the technique of joining two or more metals.This brooch/pendant is an early example of the technique from Los Castillo.
