This extraordinary piece of folk art features a vertical triptych of three stylized, anthropomorphic bird figures rendered in exceptionally vibrant, contrasting jewel tones. Each bird is masterfully executed using thick crewel-style wool embroidery yarn over a tightly woven neutral linen-colored canvas background.

Due to its impressive 56.5-inch height, this textile represents a rare, large-format decorative installation compared to standard wearable mola panels. The artwork is beautifully housed in its original, light pastel pink wooden gallery frame, which perfectly accentuates the playful, vivid color palette of the textile. A sensational statement piece that adds organic texture, history, and a bold graphic presence to Mid-Century Modern, Boho Chic, or eclectic Maximalist spaces. See less
