Love his innerds showing which really makes this piece, I love it !~
He's a fantastic bull, a lovely piece and my favourite of yours this week. He's gorgeous, lovely strong pose and really eye catching abalone shell on him. He's definitely getting ready for a charge too, especially that pawing the ground pose.
Thank you very much for the love

& DejaVu for the like
Thank you Phil for your marvelous comment, they really did a wonderful job with the abalone inlay on this bull's body it's quite lovely. Abalone & paua shell have the most amazing color variations, they've always appealed to me. Because this piece is vintage there were plenty of these Mexican silver abalone animals around, today it's less popular because of overharvesting but finding a classic like this is really a thrill
Lauren I'm so happy this is your favorite animal of mine this week, I have to say it's mine too! The minute I saw him I fell in love, not only with the beautiful abalone but that wonderfully designed charging face & head, and even great detail on the hooves. I think that Mexican bull & bullfighting jewelry is so excellent because they love that sport there (hopefully toned down not to hurt the bull) and they see bull images all the time. Thank you for your delightful praise
I’m a TAURUS :) May 2, 1976
Happy birthday Trey! You are now part of my CW Taurus 'family'. Thank you so much for loving this bull and hope you enjoy your day tomorrow
Thank YOU :)
Thank you Pascale & Trey for the love for this abalone bull, glad you liked him - and once again, happy Taurus BD to you today dear Trey

Many thanks Karen for the kind love for my "Taurus" bull, very glad you liked it and always appreciate your thoughtfulness
Shout out to the Bull Gang, love love love this pin, I collect these abalone shell pins but I do not have a bull. They are hard for me to find. Thank you so much for sharing your item it's truly a treasure ????
I used denim to try and shine mine up
Thank you Heather for the love and great comment. And if you are a Taurus, happy BD month as well :) I always scan around online to find animals of the zodiac to do BD posts for CW, which is how I found this bull. The best way to find a similar one is to put this in a google search: Mexican sterling abalone bull brooch, then hit images on top, you'll see many for sale. Happy hunting!
Thank you Penny for loving my Taurus bull, I'm thinking ahead to my next astrology post which will probably be the crab, as I usually only do the animal signs anymore - i.e., trying to find centaurs for Sagittarius (my own sign) is too tough!
Many thanks DejaVu for the love for this abalone bull, he's charging to the front to show his appreciation!!
