A feathered Aztec warrior sits in ceremonial pose, his face an inscrutable abstraction as he awaits the sacrifice. Victim or participant in the sacred rites? Salvador's Modernist design doesn't say. But it looks wonderful on! The polished planes and angles on the chunky cuff gleam with savage intensity as they catch the light with every movement. Bold earrings frame the face with fierce shine. This genius set is best appreciated when worn. Comfortable for everyday, it's a knockout for an occasion! (Such as the sacrifice of some brave's heart ...) A great piece of edgy '50's funk and highly collectible, this is Salvador at his best.
