Dimensions: 6 1/2\" tall Weight 1 lbNote: The neck band is stamped J Comes TC-38 Mexico 925. J. Comes was a registered mid‑century Taxco, Mexico silversmith known for modernist and geometric designs, often using natural stones like malachite. The mark TC‑38 refers to a Taxco City assay office registration number. “T” stands for Taxco, and the number (38 in this case)) indicates the silversmith’s registration in that city’s assay office to certify the maker and purity of the silver.
