Music Molas
The art of the Kuna Indians
Molas are the artwork of the Kuna Indians and the art has been handed down from Kuna mothers and grandmothers to young girls for centuries. The Colorful cloths are constructed by taking several layers of cloth and making designs by cutting the design down to the desired color. Then the designs are folded under and hand sewn into place. Designs may include interpretations of events in every day life, history, or simply objects seen in a normal day in the island paradise they call home such as sea shells, birds, fish, boats, fisherman or turtles
