Help identifying Compsny

[tracey0719]

Hello fellow Ebayers-I’m driving myself nuts trying to identify the company that made this little brass trinket box.  It is very heavy, leather lined and has a crab on the lid - zodiac sign I believe.  Very well made, I picked it up at an estate sale probably 20 years ago.  Anyone know anything about it?  Thanks for any help😀

I did a google search and found brass box items from Enrique Zavala, a Mexican artist. Found some for sale, too.
The markings match the signature on yours. Good luck

Yes, that's him alright!

@tracey0719  poster "mt" is spot on, valuable piece btw and yours is spectacular.

Thanks!  I was searching Zarala and coming up empty.  I knew it was special.  I really appreciate the help👍

Bronze with brass crab. Super tiny. Make sure you get pics with a tape measure or hold it in your hand like this seller did: item 144995153965

Nice prices on those items.
