Burgundy Guna Mola Cloth - 1'3 x 1'5

Vintage Mola cloth handmade by the Guna (previously spelled Kuna) people of the San Blas Islands. Mola is a reverse appliqué technique, similar to the technique used in quilting but using multiple layers of different-colored cloth that are first sewn together before a design is created by cutting away different layers. These cloths are traditionally made in pairs to be worn on the front and back of women's blouses. This Mola features a geometric design on a burgundy ground. The fabric is in very good condition.  Size: 1'3" x 1'5" [38cm x 43cm] Age: Vintage  Country of Origin: Guna People of San Blas islands, Panama Type of Textile: Guna Mola Appliqué Material: Mixed Materials Pile Height: N/A Condition: Very Good   TX456   Check out our Guna Mola collection!
