Colcha 1935 - 1942

"Colcha" is a design for a textile piece created by American artist Majel G. Claflin (1893-1941) between 1935 and 1942. The design features three stylized floral motifs in shades of red, blue, brown, and gold against a cream background. The composition is reminiscent of traditional folk art, with a focus on bold colors and simplified forms. The piece's title, "Colcha," suggests that Claflin intended it for use as a quilted or embroidered textile, a common form of decorative art in Latin America.
