Yalalag Cross Necklace from Oaxaca, Mexico with Roosters

This traditional Yalalag cross necklace was crafted in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Yalalag cross originated in Salamanca, Spain and was brought to Mexico by the friars during the colonial period. Over time, the indigenous silversmiths adapted the design and incorporated their own personal styling elements. The pomegranates in the design are from Salamanca, Spain where the motif is ancient, the roosters sybolize the cock crowing before the denial of Christ by Peter and the winged heart in the center of the necklace is symbolic of the soul ascending to heaven.
