Vintage pair of Mola textile panels !

* They are stitch together as i found.
* Kuna (Guna) women\'s Traditional Mola textiles / Panama.
*Geometric molas are the most traditional, having developed fromancient 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 Guna women.
* Marine Compass motifs. Letters, Red, Orange, Blue, colors. Quality work !
*Since mola panels have been worn as part of the traditional dress ofa Guna woman, they often show signs of wear such as fading and stitch marksalong the edgesof the panels.
These \"imperfections\" indicate that the mola is authentic and not made solelyto be sold to tourists.

Molas are often sold in pairs, the pair consisting of the back and front panels of a blouse. The two molas are usually two variations on a theme.

Matched molas complement each other and should be displayed or used together for the greatest impact.
