Product Description
Pair of molas from the front and back of a Kuna blouse
The Kuna Indians live on the San Blas Islands in the Caribbean between Panama and Colombia. The women sew these decorative panels by hand, and they are traditionally used for the front and back panels of a blouse. They use a combination of cutwork, applique and overlay techniques to give a three-dimensional, multi-layer panel.

This is a pair of molas, made to go on the same blouse. Each measures approximately 16 x 13 inches. Photos of both panels are shown below.
