Oro de Monte Albán

Guardian Crest Pin

$200.00

Small in scale but rich in symbolism, the Guardian Crest Pin by Oro de Monte Albán reimagines the iconic chimalli—Aztec shield—as a wearable emblem of heritage. At its center, a turquoise-inlaid glyph radiates from a silver medallion, flanked by stylized wings and anchored by a fringe of bold teardrop drops that recall ceremonial adornment.
This finely crafted pin can be worn on a jacket, scarf, or hat, adding a subtle yet striking expression of Mesoamerican design to any look. A versatile accent that honors ancestral forms through modern craftsmanship.
