VTG multi colored appliqué textile folk art, signed by Mercedes De Ruiz.  Scene is rural village with houses, animals, palm trees and a village girl near river.  Houses look like those in the Mayan region of Mexico or Central America.  Measures 27 1/2 x 11 1/2 ".  
Hand stitched appliqué with vibrant colors.  Charming!  

I  purchased at auction in 1970 and am cleaning out so just cannot use it.
I think it would be fabulous framed, wall hanging or lumbar pillow cover.
It appears in need of dry-cleaning to freshen it up after all these years, but I did not dare wash.

I have listed 2 others so please click on See sellers other items.  Would make a fabulous grouping.

Non smoking, non pet home
