Four small birds perch at the corners, each set into a run of scrollwork, while a tall urn at the center sprouts leaves around a big open bloom. The arrangement feels like a little ceremony in progress, and you are invited to watch. Measuring 15.5 inches wide and 11.5 inches high, it fills a standard frame nicely. Try it above a sideboard or in a dining room where guests gather.\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\u003eFounded in 1991, TraderBrock celebrates the handcraft of Latin America's indigenous peoples.
