    Description

    MOLA change purse. Panama. 4 inches high. Unique and beautiful. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class.
    Purchased in person at the San Blas Island home of these special Panama Islanders.  Really an artistic piece.  I necessarily listed this purse as "used" since it has been preowned.  However, it has never been used in that it has been held as an art collector's piece.
    FYI:  Molas are intricate hand-stitched pieces sewn into women's clothing by Tule women who are indigenous to Colombia and Panama.  The designs draw on Tule traditions and culture often depicting birds, fish and family life. The matching birds depicted on this change purse are really special.  Ownership of this piece has been special and now a new owner can have that pleasure.
    I only have two pieces of Mola left that I bought on the San Blas islands of Panama.  I think they are really special and I regret that I must give them up.
