Description
Hand-stitched Panama Mola Fair Trade Latin American Textile Art
Hand Stitched by Indigenous Artisans: This decorative tapestry is hand-sewn by indigenous Guna artisans in Panama. Each piece is unique due to its handcrafted nature and fair-trade production.
What is a Mola? A Mola is a traditional textile from the indigenous Guna people of Panama and surrounding regions. Originally part of women's clothing, Molas are now used as wall art, pillows, bedspreads, placemats, or quilting fabric.
Traditional Construction & Design: Made using a reverse appliqué technique with layered colored cloth, Molas often feature geometric patterns inspired by nature and rainforest wildlife.
