Framed Mola Textile Panel – Geometric Multicolor Design
This hand-sewn textile panel is a fine example of a Mola, the intricate applique art form created by the Guna (Kuna) people of Panama and Colombia. Molas are traditionally made for women’s blouses, where layered fabrics are carefully cut away and stitched to reveal bold, colorful designs. Each panel reflects both personal expression and cultural heritage, blending centuries-old tradition with striking visual impact.
The design here features interlocking spirals and triangular motifs in red, yellow, green, black, and gray, set against a vivid red border. The symmetrical composition conveys balance and energy, qualities often celebrated in Guna textile art. Presented in a wood shadowbox frame, it is ready for display while preserving its handcrafted details.
Condition:
Good overall condition with vibrant colors and intact stitching. Some dust is visible behind the glass, and the wood frame shows light surface wear consistent with age. The textile itself remains bright and engaging.
Dimensions:
Overall (frame): 9 1/2 x 13 inches
Visible textile: 6 1/2 x 7 inches
