{"product_id":"burgundy-and-white-birdcage-mola-1","title":"Burgundy And White Birdcage Mola","description":"\u003cp\u003eSomebody's Easter basket got the full mola treatment. A wide magenta basket with a high arched handle sits dead center on black, packed with rows of little eggs in every color the stitcher had on hand, red, teal, gold, white and orange, with a bright red and a bright blue stripe running straight through the middle. Four magenta labyrinth blocks fill the corners and frame the whole thing like a window. At 16 by 12 inches it is a cheerful, oddball piece of Panama folk art that reads as holiday decor in April and as pure color the rest of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mola is a hand stitched textile panel made by the Guna people of Panama. Layers of brightly colored cotton are stacked, then cut down through one layer at a time to reveal the colors underneath, with every raw edge turned and stitched by hand. The technique is called reverse appliqué, and Guna women have been refining it for generations. Molas were originally made in matching pairs for the front and back of a blouse, and the designs draw on birds, fish, plants, and geometric patterns from the islands and rainforest where they are made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis panel comes from Guna Yala, the San Blas islands off Panama's Caribbean coast. No two molas are ever alike. Ready to frame, mount, or sew into a pillow or quilt panel. Small variations in size, stitching, and color are normal in handmade textiles and are part of what makes each one authentic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e PM3945T\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TraderBrock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47317977104559,"sku":"PM3945T","price":36.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5442\/files\/panama-mola-textile-traderbrock-133.jpg?v=1786041103","url":"https:\/\/traderbrock.com\/en-ca\/products\/burgundy-and-white-birdcage-mola-1","provider":"TraderBrock","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
