Authentic Panama Mola Panel, Baby Rattle Design Hand-Stitched by Guna Artisans, Reverse-Applique Wall Hanging, 13 x 10.5 in, Geometric Wall Decor, Mola Textile Gift

Each Mola offered by TraderBrock is hand-stitched by Guna (formerly Kuna) artisans of Panama using reverse-applique techniques passed down through generations. Molas are one-of-a-kind textile art pieces traditionally worn on the clothing of Guna women. They can be hung as a tapestry, framed behind glass, sewn onto pillow covers, incorporated into quilts, or displayed as collectible folk art. TraderBrock has partnered directly with Guna, Embera, Wounaan, and Ngabe artisans since 1991, reinvesting sales into the artisan communities.

• DESIGN ELEMENTS: Burgundy And Orange Baby Rattle rendered in an Orange, Burgundy palette, framed by layered Guna geometric borders inspired by ancestral body painting.
• VERSATILE DISPLAY: Hang as a ready-to-use wall tapestry, frame behind glass, sew onto a pillow cover, incorporate into a quilt panel, or feature in a gallery wall.
