{"product_id":"twin-arches-in-a-green-labyrinth-kuna-mola","title":"Twin Arches In A Green Labyrinth Kuna Mola","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwin Arches In A Green Labyrinth Mola is a hand sewn textile by a Guna (Kuna) artisan in Panama. Two tall arches stand side by side, each crammed with hooked maze shapes, a design with no figures at all that leans on pattern alone. It has a calm, almost meditative quality that rewards a long look. At 14 inches wide and 12 inches high it reads as modern graphic art and fits a standard frame. Hang it in your office, a contemporary living room or anywhere you like clean, strong pattern.\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.
