A fabulous Kuna Mola textile showcasing a symmetrical geometric design of yellow vines with green leaves surrounded by teal, sage green, and red borders.
Molas ("shirt" or "clothing") for the Guna people from Panama and Colombia have a rich history with an origin in body painting. The traditional designs of body art were transferred to a textile medium in the 17th century. The designs were originally painted directly onto the fabric, but by the later part of the 19th century reverse applique became a popular method. Several layers of colorful fabric are sewn together, and then strategically cut away to reveal beautiful, intricate compositions.
Displayed with a wood fillet and burlap surround in a wood frame.
