This 2 1-2"W bull brooch has a colorful enamel design and is marked S925 for sterling silver, probably of Mexican origin.
Happy BD to everyone on CW born under Taurus the bull including Judy-Tassiedevil and Bill

The colors and pattern in this work so well together. And a bonus that it’s sterling!
He is a stunning bull! He's so elegant and artistic the pose, the movement and the colour altogether are really really great for this piece! I particularly love his really long and elegant tail and the really nice mix of blues and golds and browns used- it brings to mind really bright pieces of pottery or terracotta commonly seen in Mexico(and Spain too!)
That would be me, no big surprise I'm sure, lol... Wonderful brooch love the enamel art work.
Thanks all for the very kind love & enjoying this bull

MrsT, this was such a surprising find for me, while I am a fan of Mexican sterling pieces they are almost always with abalone inlay, so it was a delight to see this array of colorful enamel, thank you so much for noticing and your super compliment
Ken, thank you for the wonderful praise, I too was rather bowled over by this bull's artwork and zigzag patterning, it was an impulse buy I really fell in love with
Thomas he's a pretty cool bull right, thanks as always for your kind compliments!
Mary I know you really appreciate sterling jewelry, so many thanks for the wonderful compliment, very glad you liked this
Aw Eileen, I'm always truly thrilled to find something different and 'out of the box' that others find appealing, and if it's an animal piece that's even better, love your super compliments as always
Lauren you are absolutely right, this design is so much like terracotta pottery designs from Mexico, Spain & even Portugal, and must be where the designer got their inspiration. Also the bold combinations of color with the blue, gold & brown work really well here. Thank you for the warm praise and so happy you liked this bull
Thanks foseatme for the lovely compliment, always very grateful and good to see you :)
Lisa, your sign Taurus is wonderful, you're a lovely person with a beautiful glass collection that is quite Venusian, the goddess of beauty, which I'm sure you already know! Hope you had or will have a wonderful BD, and glad to have a nice bull to represent your sign, totally appreciate the great compliments
So glad you enjoyed this sterling bull share, the love is very kind and super appreciated
Thank you Hunter and theenchantedfox for the very kind love & glad you liked this bull
This piece is reminiscent of Minoan art:

Kevin you're so right, this shape is exactly like the Minoan leaping bull, thank you so much for the link! I thought it was a really nice style and seems the Mexican jewelry designer thought so too! Thank you for the great link & comment, greatly appreciated
Thanks Malkey and Roycroft for the love it is so very nice of you guys :)
Very grateful for the thoughtful love vcal & Bruce for this mosaic bull, you guys are the best thank you so much!
Mary I'm so glad you love this sterling bull, he is so colorful and unusual. I believe the seller had told me she had bought it in Mexico but as you say it could have been made elsewhere. It is a very thin piece, but so beautifully colored in front
