Marie Larson Tolley, a 1938 graduate of Saint Olaf College, donated this wall hanging. The hanging was made by her mother, Sophia Rauk Larson, who graduated from the Academy in 1910. It was initially a pillow shaw but was altered into a wall hanging when Marie started her studies in 1934, where it hung in her Mohn Hall room.
