Unusual necklace, is this Chato Castillo

Postby mkad » Tue May 21, 2013 6:58 pm

I have this really cool necklace, it's hallmarked that it's hand-made sterling, but I don't recognize the signature, I wondered if anyone else knows it. It looks a bit like Chato Castillo's, but it has an extra "limb" on the right. It actually may not be Mexican, but it's in Spanish and seems to have a Mexican feel to it.

Actually, the symbol now makes me think it's a hand that represents that it was handmade? Does anyone know the origin of this?

Sorry to bother you, I found it was Manuel Porcayo Figueroa. Thanks for your interest though.
