America, Mid-20th Century

Wool hooked technique. Five pointed niches each enclose an akimbo male figure in historicizing garb, standing on a small raised plinth. The central figure may be Arabic, while the others appear to represent African, European, or Turkish figures. The red border features fan-shaped abstract flowers. A charming piece with a broad, saturated color palette and jaunty figures.
