{"product_id":"burgundy-swan-lake-mola","title":"Machine Stitched Swan Lake Pair Mola","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo long necked swans lean toward each other across a burgundy field, their necks curving into something very close to a heart. The wings are broad lime green shells packed with pink, blue and purple feather bands, and the birds are outlined again and again in teal, orange and white until the whole panel seems to hum. Sturdy maze legs hold the pair up from below. At 15.5 by 12 inches it is a big graphic piece of Panama folk art and one of the friendlier prices in the shop.\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 Molas were originally made in matching pairs for the front and back of a blouse, and the designs draw on birds, fish, plants, and geometric patterns from the islands and rainforest where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\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis mola has both hand and machine stitching.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e PM3934T\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TraderBrock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47317598142639,"sku":"PM3934T","price":36.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5442\/files\/panama-mola-textile-traderbrock-67_6dee371d-65d7-4c59-8f87-913963411cb5.jpg?v=1786030176","url":"https:\/\/traderbrock.com\/en-ca\/products\/burgundy-swan-lake-mola","provider":"TraderBrock","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
