A hand-hooked wool rug executed in a pictorial folk art style, attributed to the Folklore studio of Olga Fisch in Quito, Ecuador. The central cream-colored field features a large, stylized quadruped, possibly a horse, rendered with minimalist features and a red harness. The surrounding landscape includes a vertical fence, blue wavy lines representing water, and a dark brown vertical element on the right side accented with green foliage and small dark animal silhouettes. The scene is enclosed within a wide, bold black border decorated with a repeating, large-scale scroll or stylized flame motif in variegated shades of red and deep purple. The rug is constructed using thick wool yarn or fabric strips hand-hooked onto a coarse textile backing, such as burlap. No maker's marks or labels are visible on the front of the textile.
