    Vintage Mola Kuna Panama Framed Reverse Applique Folk Art on Framed Burlap 1960s
    The mola forms part of the traditional outfit of a Kuna woman in
    Panama
    ​. Two mola panels belong together as front and back panels in a blouse.
    This Mola was stitched by the skillful hands of the Kuna Indians of the Republic of Panama. The Mola is one of the last primitive art forms; a variation of the reverse appliqué craft passed down from generation to generation. It has a wooden frame with the art work mounted on a framed piece of burlap. Overall measurement is 18.75 x 17.25". The inner framed art work measures 10 x 8.5". In very good condition.
