Experience the vibrant artistry of the Kuna tribe with this exquisite set of three vintage Molas, beautifully framed and collected in the 1960s. Each piece showcases intricate designs and rich colors that reflect the cultural heritage of Panama, making them perfect for adding a unique touch to any décor.
The mola or molas, is part of the traditional outfit of a Kuna woman in Panama.
Molas typically include designs of animals, landscapes, and geometric figures. A spiritual craft linking the people to nature. Each piece takes much time to complete, creating incredible quality of stitching and design.
Molas are now considered true works of art.
Several layers of different-colored cloth are sewn together; the design is then formed by cutting away parts of each layer. The edges of the layers are then turned under and sewn down. This is amazing fine and delicate work.
