Molas are intricate cloth designs created by the Kuna people of Panama. The Kuna live mainly on islands off the coast of Panama and have a matriarchal society. A key part of traditional Kuna women's clothing is the mola - two brightly colored and geometrically patterned cloth panels sewn onto a blouse. Molas are created through a process of sewing together cut pieces of fabric in symmetrical patterns and designs that were originally inspired by the body paintings of Kuna women.
