This striking piece is hand-sewn from layers of brightly colored fabric, cut and stitched to create bold, geometric animal and bird motifs outlined in vivid red. The rhythmic pattern of stripes, dots, and contrasting hues of orange, yellow, green, pink, and blue against a black background showcases the intricate craftsmanship of traditional Mola textiles, produced by the Kuna people of the San Blas Islands.

Housed in a sleek black frame with backing paper and hanging wire, the textile is preserved as a wall-ready piece of folk art.

A wonderful example of traditional Latin American folk artistry, this Mola textile adds a vibrant and cultural touch to any collection of world or tribal art.
