Tolliver was born one of 12 children to sharecropper parents at the Pike Road area near Montgomery, Alabama. His exact year of birth is unknown, though it is known he was born on the Fourth of July. During the late 1960s, after a severe injury having his legs crushed when a load of marble and fell from a forklift, Mose turned to painting to combat the pain and long hours of idle time.

Some plywood separation along the base; minor edge imperfections.
