{"product_id":"vintage-black-and-gold-floral-background-mola","title":"Vintage Black And Gold Floral Background Leaf Maze Panama Mola","description":"\u003cp\u003eVintage Black And Gold Floral Background Leaf Maze Mola is a hand sewn textile by a Guna (Kuna) artisan in Panama. Two gold flowered mazes sit side by side on black, and inside each one a cluster of leaves in maroon, pink, blue and green spins around a bow shaped knot. Small dashes and teardrops float between the leaves like seeds caught in a breeze, filling every gap inside the walls. At 17 inches wide and 11 inches high, it suits a long wall over a bench or a headboard. Your guests will lean in to see the tiny printed flowers on the gold cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMolas are built by stacking several layers of colored cotton, then cutting down through one layer at a time so the colors underneath show through, and turning every raw edge under and stitching it closed by hand. The technique is called reverse appliqué, and a good panel is judged by how fine the stitches are and how many layers deep the cutting goes. This one came from Guna Yala, the San Blas islands off Panama's Caribbean coast, where the designs draw on the birds, fish, plants and geometric patterns of the islands and rainforest. It is ready to frame, mount, or sew into a pillow or a quilt panel, and no two are ever alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMolaMagic was founded by Janet Marie Brockman with a simple but powerful mission: to help indigenous women of color in Panama share their art with the world. For over twenty years, all profits have gone right back into the artisan community, supporting education, medical care, land, tools, and daily needs. Buying a MolaMagic mola means you are part of that story too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e PM3315T\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MolaMagic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45444719804591,"sku":"PM3315T","price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5442\/files\/HandmadePanamaMolaTextileTraderBrock-55_b917a5b4-deef-41e6-b35b-88e6f0bd2747.jpg?v=1750015266","url":"https:\/\/traderbrock.com\/en-ca\/products\/vintage-black-and-gold-floral-background-mola","provider":"TraderBrock","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
