The central panel is an authentic Mola, a traditional textile created by the Kuna people of Panama, famed for their intricate reverse appliqué technique. Likely dating to the mid-to-late 20th century, the Mola features a complex, layered geometric labyrinth in striking hot pink and black, surrounding a vibrant central bird motif. This hand-stitched process is highly labor-intensive and results in a tactile, high-relief design that seems to glow.

Elegantly framed by a crisp white border, this 18-inch pillow provides a powerful pop of color and cultural depth. Filled with a premium down blend insert, this colorful artisanal pillow is ready to style, serving as a commanding focal point for Global, Eclectic, or Art Deco Revival interiors. See less
