A mola is a traditional textile art form created by the Guna people of Panama and Colombia. It involves sewing together layers of brightly colored fabric to create intricate designs, often depicting nature, animals, or cultural symbols. The process includes cutting and layering, resulting in a unique reverse appliqué technique. Molas are not only used as clothing, typically incorporated into blouses, but also serve as decorative wall hangings or art pieces. They reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Guna and are recognized for their vibrant colors and detailed craftsmanship, making them popular among collectors and art enthusiasts.
