Two round bellied jars drawn in white and burgundy outline stand side by side on black cotton, and inside each one three little four legged animals stand on their own shelves. Each animal is outlined in a different color, pink, blue, orange, green, gold and yellow, with fine striped bodies and perked ears. The panel measures 14.5 inches wide by 11 inches high. It is reverse appliqué, cut back through the layers and stitched by hand.

A mola is a hand stitched panel made by the Guna people of Panama, once known as the Kuna. Several layers of colored cotton are stacked, then cut down through one layer at a time so the colors underneath show through, and every raw edge is turned and stitched closed by hand. The technique is called reverse appliqué. Guna women have been refining it for generations, and the designs draw on the birds, fish, plants and geometric patterns of the islands and rainforest where they live.

TraderBrock has bought directly from Guna, Embera, Wounaan and Ngäbe artisans since 1991, and sales revenue goes back into those communities for education, medical care, tools and land. This panel came from Guna Yala, the San Blas islands off Panama's Caribbean coast. It is ready to frame, mount, or sew into a pillow or a quilt panel, and it can be hand washed. No two molas are ever alike, and small variations in size, stitching and color are normal in handmade textiles.
