This beautiful cross pin was created in the "Matl" studio and designed by Matilde Poulat. Matilde Poulat was a contemporary of Diego Rivera and an instructor of the arts at the prestigious San Carlos Art Academy in Mexico City. She was one of the first to incorporate indigenous motifs with colonial design to create jewelry that was uniquely Mexican in character. This cross pin is from her earliest design period and in excellent vintage condition.
