About Molas Kuna
The artistry of
a mola reflects a synthesis of traditional Kuna culture with the influences
of the modern world. Mola art developed when Kuna women had access
to store bought yard goods. Mola designs are often inspired by modern
graphics such as political posters, labels, pictures from books and TV
cartoons, as well as traditional themes from Kuna legends and culture.
Geometric molas
are the most traditional, having developed from ancient body painting designs.
Many hours of
careful sewing are required to create a fine mola. The ability to make
an outstanding mola is a source of status among Kuna women.
The
quality of a mola is determined by such factors as
-
number of layers
-
fineness of stitching
-
evenness and width
of cutouts
-
addition of details
such as zigzag borders, lattice-work or embroidery
-
general artistic
merit of the design and color combination
Since mola panels
have been worn as part of the traditional dress of a Kuna woman they often
show signs of wear such as fading and stitch marks along the edges of the
panels. These"imperfections" indicate that the mola is authentic
and not made solely to be sold to tourists.
Mola panels have
many uses. They can be framed as art or made into pillows, place
mats or wall hangings. Some people even make them into bedspreads
or incorporate them into quilting projects.
Molas are very
sturdy and well sewn. They have already been washed many times and
can be safely hand washed in warm water.
Remember,
molas are the everyday clothing of the Kuna women and girls. When you
buy a mola, you are buying part of a woman's used clothing.
