{"product_id":"the-winged-figure-who-brought-a-star-kuna-mola","title":"The Winged Figure Who Brought A Star Kuna Mola","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Winged Figure Who Brought A Star Mola is a hand sewn textile by a Guna (Kuna) artisan in Panama. A tall angel stretches across the panel in a single outline, one broad wing banded in color, a star tucked into the crook of its arm and a small bird at its feet. It brings a gentle, watchful feeling into a room, the sense that someone is looking out for you. At 16 inches wide and 10.5 inches high, it frames well as a gift for a new home or a new baby. Hang it in a bedroom or a nursery, or bring it out as a holiday piece.\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.
