Vintage Mola cloth handmade by the Guna (previously spelled Kuna) people of the San Blas Islands.
Mola is a reverse appliqué technique, similar to the technique used in quilting but using multiple layers of different-colored cloth that are first sewn together before a design is created by cutting away different layers. These cloths are traditionally made in pairs to be worn on the front and back of women's blouses.
This Mola features a dizzying pattern of swirling circles.
The fabric is in very good condition.
