PICTURE FRAME IS NOT INCLUDED Please note that due to the handmade nature of these pieces, they may not be perfectly symmetric and may have loose threads. However, these characteristics only add to the authenticity and artistry of each piece. We've chosen to keep the Molas intact as they come out of the producer, including extra material for added versatility in your creative projects. Each Mola has extra space on the edges, which is meant to be cut or reframed according to your liking. This means that the edges may look unfinished, but most people cut the Molas to their preferred size and framing options. At our store, we make every effort to accurately depict the Molas in our pictures. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us before making your purchase. And be sure to review our return policy for complete peace of mind. Looking for an authentic and unique addition to your home decor or crafting projects? Look no further than our handmade Molas! These beautiful pieces of art are traditionally made by the Kuna people of Panama and symbolize their culture and heritage. The Kuna are an indigenous people who live primarily in the San Blas Islands off the coast of Panama, as well as in several mainland communities. They have a rich history and culture, with a unique language, clothing, and customs. Molas are an important part of Kuna culture and are created using a reverse applique technique, in which layers of fabric are cut and stitched together to create intricate designs. Each Mola is crafted by hand using a method of layering and cutting fabric, resulting in intricate and colorful designs. The process is time-consuming and requires great skill, making each Mola a one-of-a-kind work of art. The Kuna women who create these beautiful pieces of art use them to tell stories and express their creativity, often incorporating traditional Kuna designs and symbols into their work.
