This charming piece of ethnic, textile art was entirely hand made, and was purchased from a Kuna Indian mola maker on the San Blas Island of Soledad Mandinga off of the coast of Panama. It was originally made to be part of a blouse and, as with all genuine molas, it has been worn. It has now been carefully taken apart to be used as framed art or as part of your own special creation.

This mola is in excellent condition but does have one tiny scissors nick in the lower, right border. This tiny hole would not interfere with framing or other usej.
