Margot de Taxco Mexican silver horse Pin Brooch

Margot's equine-themed parure is, of course, one of her most popular designs. Who doesn't love horses anyway? And in this brooch, there are three of them, familiarly presented in profile, their proud heads slightly cocked, their manes carefully braided. I would call this a glorified bar pin almost - you can easily wear it right over the uppermost button of a silk shirt but it is big enough for a sweater or a jacket even...
