Vintage Mola VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars)

Description

Kuna Indian Mola
18" x 15"
Great gift for the veteran in your life!
Molas are hand-made using a reverse
appliqué
technique. Several layers of different-colored cloth are sewn together; the design is then formed by cutting away parts of each layer. The edges of the layers are then turned under and sewn down.
