The exhibit Art en la Charreria: The Artisanship of the Mexican Equestrian Culture shows incredibly ornate and intricate design work in these Mexican saddles — exquisite detailing and fine craftsmanship of tooling leather, spurs and ironwork — all attire of the Mexican cowboys in the early 20th century. This also reminds me and parallels the exhibit that my husband and I just recently saw at the National Gallery of Art on Spanish armory, The Art of Power, Royal Armor and the Portraits of Imperial Spain.
