This is a textile artwork, likely an appliqué or patchwork, on a light brown, coarse woven fabric background, resembling burlap. The artwork is located in São Paulo, Brazil. The composition features a central, embroidered portrait of an older woman with dark hair, dark eyes, and a subtle smile, wearing a striped top and a light-colored collar. To the upper left, the word "PANAMÁ" is spelled vertically in large felt letters (blue, red, and white), alongside an appliquéd green palm tree with a dark brown trunk. The lower half of the artwork is dominated by a dense cluster of colorful fabric flowers and green foliage, including a prominent orange-yellow lily and multiple deep red blossoms. In the lower-left quadrant, an appliquéd depiction of an Indigenous person's head and upper torso is visible, featuring dark hair, facial paint (red and light), and a necklace. A smaller green palm tree with a brown trunk is present in the lower right. Three small, white fabric squares with handwritten text in Portuguese are affixed to the right side; the top square reads "MARIA C. POET...", the middle one contains a 'message' beginning "Vive tu...", and the bottom one starts with "maria..." and mentions "mulher" (woman). The left edge of the artwork is bordered by a visible orange stitched line. The scene is a static, multi-subject artistic representation.
