Vintage Mexican silver souvenir spoon featuring an intricate Aztec or Mayan design. The top features a molded face representing a Mesoamerican deity, tribal idol, or warrior. The vertical stem is uniquely cut out and engraved to spell the word "MEXICO" reading from top to bottom. Spoons of this style were traditionally produced in silversmithing hubs like Taxco, Mexico.

The marking "Sterling 925" confirms that the spoon is made of solid sterling silver (92.5% pure silver), which adds intrinsic precious metal value beyond its status as a collectible.

The "RR" initials represent the maker's mark (hallmark) of the specific Mexican silversmith or workshop that hand-crafted the spoon. Mid-century Mexican silver workshops frequently used two-letter or three-letter initials to identify their registered silversmiths. Because hundreds of individual smiths operated out of silver-producing hubs like Taxco and Mexico City during the mid-20th century, many minor artisan initials remain undocumented in standard hallmark registries.

Excellent vintage condition. 3.5 inches.
