    The technique is sometimes referred to as reverse applique.
    Molas
    can often have as many as four colored layers of cloth with extra color pieces and embroidery accents added.
    Kuna
    , also spelled Cuna, Chibchan-speaking Indian people who once occupied the central region of what is now
    Panama
    and the neighboring San Blas Islands and who still survive in marginal areas.
    What is a sign that a mola is authentic?
    Since mola panels have been worn as part of the traditional dress of a Guna woman, they often show signs of wear such as fading and stitch marks along the edges of the panels. These "imperfections" indicate that the mola is authentic and not made solely to be sold to tourists.
