What is a Mola? A Mola is a traditional textile from the indigenous Guna people of Panama and surrounding regions. It can be used as wall art, pillows, bedspreads, place mats, or fabric for quilting.
Traditional construction & design: Made with a reverse appliqué technique using layers of colored cloth, Molas often feature geometric patterns inspired by rainforest wildlife and ancient body paintings.
