Kuna Indian Vintage Hand-Stitch Parental Care Bird Mola Art-Panama 16042203L

This mola measures 15" x 11".

This is a very old mola. Back in the old days the artists started using a background cloth that added design to the mola itself. These molas are rare today but I found a whole box of them hiding out in the warehouse. I remember when I put the word out that I wanted to buy old molas. I think the artists went to their grandmother's closet and cut molas off old blouses.
