This is a Mexican handicraft (Mexican decoration) purchased in the US about 30 years ago.
It was displayed in a place with little direct sunlight for about 10 years after purchase, and then stored in a box in a closet.
As it was displayed, there are signs of discoloration due to age.
Also, the coloring of the central motif (especially the red chili peppers) and the horizontal bar appear to have slightly bled around the edges.
As it is an old item, please consider it an antique.

In Texas and New Mexico, wreaths were made from chilies (red peppers) and dried, then displayed in kitchens and entrances.
It seems to be a type of ward against evil.
Aren't these kinds of Mexican items rare?
