Hand-tooled leather crossbody bag made in Mexico. This piece is a true work of artisan craftsmanship — every detail is carved and tooled by hand, with no two sides alike.
Front: Depicts the beloved Mexican folk art legend of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl — a warrior carrying his princess — set against a desert landscape with cacti and mountains, framed by intricate tooled borders and geometric diamond motifs on a rich red-brown leather body.
Back: Showcases a beautifully detailed Aztec sun calendar (Piedra del Sol) in warm tan and red tones with black accents — the standout feature of this bag.
Construction: Braided leather lacing runs along both sides, finished with silver-tone hardware including a buckle closure and long adjustable crossbody strap.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No cracks, no fading, no staining. Leather is supple and intact throughout.
Measurements:
7" wide x 7.5" high x 2" deep
Adjustable long crossbody strap
Unmarked — no maker's label. A one-of-a-kind vintage find perfect for the folk art, boho, or western collector.
