I have no idea what this is and if it is worth anything. I have had it for a long time. It measures 22" by 40" - I did not even know this was in the lot that I purchased. It appears to be made out of burlap (?). The figures seem to be cut by hand as they are not perfect.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

I think this is an unfinished rug (likely from Mexico) - after the figures were completed, then they would weave regular strips of color for the background.
