THIS OLD MOLA HAS BEEN WORN BY THE GUNA INDIAN WOMAN IT CAN BE FADED, TORN OR STAINED

Sculpturing through cloth. This is an old, antique/vintage beautiful piece of art work. Old molas signifies that they have been used and worn, they can be torn, have holes, faded or stained. These are very special and have been in storage for decades. They are collectibles, and have a very special place in my heart. You can frame them and enjoy them in your home.

The Guna Indian woman wear a blouse, in our language this is called "Mola".A mola is found on the front and back of her blouse. The way it is made is amazing. For every layer of color there is a sheet of cloth, they cut through the first layer to expose the next and so forth. It can take days, weeks, months to finish a blouse as she is cutting she is designing to the imagination of her own desire.
