Antonio Pineda Belt Buckle Under the guidance of silver genius William Spratling, Antonio Pineda created a body of work out of his hometown of Taxco that could easily be considered the most impressive volume of Mexican silver pieces in existence. The Taxco School and its silversmiths referenced historical forms from pre-Columbian to Mexican Colonial and Art Deco, drawing their material from the local soil rich with silver ore. The pre-1970 belt buckle, thought by the dealer to be Pineda’s take on the forms of master silversmiths Hector Aguilar Armadillo and Valentín Vidaurreta, measures 3.5 inches in height and is extremely rare.
