Molas are colorful pieces of fabric artwork created by the Kuna women of Panama. They originated from the body painting traditions of the Kuna people between 150-170 years ago. Originally made through painting, molas now involve sewing together pieces of fabric in geometric patterns influenced by the Maya or depicting animals and plants. Molas are worn as clothing and their vibrant designs and sewing techniques are similar to American quilts.
