A winged figure leans in from the right with a palm frond, a star hangs overhead, and the whole nativity plays out on deep burgundy with confetti bits of color scattered across the background. The Guna stitcher packed every robe with running stitch in a dozen colors. It measures 16 by 12 inches, a genuinely funny and genuinely reverent piece of Panamanian folk art that is hard to walk past without smiling.\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 Molas were originally made in matching pairs for the front and back of a blouse, and the designs draw on birds, fish, plants, and geometric patterns from the islands and rainforest where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 16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e PM3938T\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TraderBrock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47317640183983,"sku":"PM3938T","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5442\/files\/panama-mola-textile-traderbrock-91_59904ac8-8d92-4c9c-8de4-f4d4dc519a25.jpg?v=1786031296","url":"https:\/\/traderbrock.com\/products\/baby-jesus-in-peril-christian-mola","provider":"TraderBrock","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
