This is a vintage Mola with a beautiful bird motif. This came from the estate of a gentleman by the name of Everett Lee Davenport and it belonged to his brother, Randall R. Davenport. They were from the Diagonal, Iowa area.
Randall lived from 1943-1977 and passed in Los Angeles, California. He worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad as a diesel mechanic from 1968-1976. He most likely acquired this in that time frame, while working on the Railway.

The piece has lovely color for its age. There are blue, green, red and oranges mostly on a black background, with a beautiful bird motif.
I purchased this piece as you see it, already framed, and I am making the assumption that it was done for preservation. There is a note on the back which reads: Cloth from South America Framed by Randall Davenport.
The mola measures approximately 15 by 20 inches and the frame measures approximately 19 by 25 inches.
