THE MOLA STORY: Molas are undoubtedly the most famous art produced in Panama. The Wounaan and Embera women have been sewing these works of arts for centuries. Molas are hand-made using a reverse appliqué technique using several layers of different colored cloth. The largest pattern is typically cut from the top layer and smaller patterns from each underlying layer. Geometric molas are the most traditional. Originating from ancient body paintings. Designs usually portray wildlife in the Rainforest. Inspiration comes from the nature and beauty that surrounds them. Nonsmoking pet free home. Please see photos for any condition concerns. Slight wear to paper backing on frame.
Frame measures 19.75x16”, mola showing is approximately 15.75x11.
