Rare Antique Set of 2 Molas Fine Textile Art Guna Indian Panama Tribe Birds
These Molas are so beautiful. The detail and craftsmanship is exquisite. It appears that these molas have actually been worn due to thread around the pieces and the black material is a bit faded. These are very dramatic pieces using only black and red and fine multi colored thread within the birds heads.
They both measure 17.5”x12”
Please study photos carefully and email me with any questions. No returns. Thank you for looking!
The Mola, or Molas, is a hand-made textile that forms part of the traditional women’s clothing of the indigenous Guna people from Panamá, Central America, and Colombia, South America. The full costume includes a patterned wrapped skirt (saburet), a red and yellow headscarf (musue), arm and leg beads (wini), a gold nose ring (olasu) and earrings in addition to the mola blouse (dulemor). - Via Wikipedia
