{"product_id":"prickly-pear-lion-fish-mola","title":"Prickly Pear Lionfish Mola","description":"\u003cp\u003eA lion fish rendered as pure spine and color. Rows of rainbow bars fan out from a dark body in orange, blue, magenta, purple and lime, one small white eye watches from the right, and columns of stitched leaves climb both sides like cactus paddles. Concentric orange and gold borders wrap the whole panel and pull your eye straight to the middle. At 15.5 by 12 inches it is loud in the best possible way, a Guna mola for anyone who likes their folk art turned all the way up.\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 Molas were originally made in matching pairs for the front and back of a blouse, and the designs draw on birds, fish, plants, and geometric patterns from the islands and rainforest where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 15.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e PM3933T\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TraderBrock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47317576089775,"sku":"PM3933T","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5442\/files\/panama-mola-textile-traderbrock-61_9b5d33a6-f7ca-4144-ae26-2d1a2c7ebbeb.jpg?v=1786029997","url":"https:\/\/traderbrock.com\/products\/prickly-pear-lion-fish-mola","provider":"TraderBrock","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
