Mola
A Mola is a type of textile art created by the Guna people of Panama and Colombia. It features vibrant colors and intricate designs, often depicting nature, animals, and cultural symbols. The process involves layering fabrics and cutting away the top layers to reveal the colors beneath, a technique known as reverse appliqué.
Molas are traditionally used as part of women's clothing, specifically as blouses. They have gained popularity as decorative items and are often sold as art pieces. Each Mola is unique, reflecting the individual artist's style and the cultural heritage of the Guna community.
