Kuna Indian Folk Art 5-Layer Panama Mola Reverse Embroidery Colorful Lobster:
$139.99
It is my belief this Mola is very likely museum quality. Not only is it a fine example of folk art, but it is 5 layers thick and the handwork is beyond exceptional. Please exam all the pictures and make note the tiny, tiny stitches.
The subject is that of a lobster and the multitude of colors are each and every one vibrant. Although traditionally hand sewn to be used in making clothing, Molas can be framed and utilized as wall art, or even used for the face of a sofa pillow.
About Molas : The Mola originated in Panama. Mola is a Kuna Indian word that means blouse. The process of making a Mola is a layering technique. The folk artist begins with only 2 layers (2-layer Molas are fairly common and less valuable). After finishing the hand work on two layers the bottom layer is then cut down and the raw edges turned under and sometimes stitched down before a 3rd layer and then a 4th or 5th layer is added.
