Kuna Indian Hand-Stitched Vintage Classic MoIa-Panama 20020504mm

This Kuna Mola measures about 17" x 14.5".

Folks, some time ago I bought a box of molas from the children of missionaries that served in the San Blas Islands in the 1950-1960 period. The Islands are home to the Kuna mola artists so of course they became collectors.

This mola is in excellent condition for its age. I use to call this design a Gossip Mola because an artist once told me they used this design to express the amount of gossip that goes on among the artists.
