Felt art work

Does anyone know what this is? It’s 15 inch by 21 inches. It looks like it was hand sewn. Not sure if it’s worth anything or not.

 

Mike, it's a mola from Panama. Someone brought home a souvenir. Here's more information if you're interested.

Thank you very much. Do you know if they are worth anything?

 

They're not scare and collector interest seems to be with the older, more elaborate ones. I suggest you go to eBay Completed listings and see what the supply/demand for similars has been.

Molas are generally made of cotton fabric, not felt.

Here are a couple of previous threads that have discussed molas:
