- Lot Description
Central America, Panama, San Blas Islands, ca. mid-20th century CE. A vibrant mola that is hand sewn from several cotton panels to create a dynamic scene of monkeys. The mola is a textile form of folk art that is traditionally made by indigenous Kuna women. Layers of fabric are combined, strategically cut, and sewn to create the motifs. Here, a trio of stylized monkeys stand at attention, their hands raised, as if in greeting. Around are linear and circular patterns. A charming and colorful piece! This mola is mounted on a wooden frame that is subsequently mounted on a burlap panel with a second wooden frame. This piece is ready to be displayed to brighten up any space! Size of mola: 19" L x 13.25" W (48.3 cm x 33.7 cm); frame: 28.125" L x 22.5" W (71.4 cm x 57.2 cm)
