A Mid Century Modern pin by the wonderful American jewelry designer, Otto Robert Bade. This pin is an example of the design influences of the late 1950s. It also has a connection to a classic Mexican motif (although not a Mexican made pin) of a solitary man, wearing an oversized sombrero, riding a donkey.
The 5th photo is Otto and his wife Dae. She is wearing a bracelet Otto made for her in the Frank Rebajes Studio. What a cute couple!
