1960s Folk Art Plant Fiber Wall Hanging

Description

Such a unique and visually captivating piece of vintage art you don't see everyday!

Art depicts a group of street vendors selling good at an outdoor market and displays a wonderful monochromatic look. Signed "Pestova" on the bottom right corner. Very rare one-of-a-kind find!
