{"product_id":"twin-harpy-eagles-squaring-off-kuna-mola","title":"Twin Harpy Eagles Squaring Off Kuna Mola","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwin Harpy Eagles Squaring Off Mola is a hand sewn textile by a Guna (Kuna) artisan in Panama. Two broad winged creatures fill the panel with hooked beaks turned toward each other, and the outlines that hold them apart keep two crowded shapes from running together. The standoff has real tension, the sort that makes you wonder who will blink first. At 14 inches wide and 9.5 inches high, it is a compact panel that suits a small frame. It gives a study, a den or a sports room a bit of drama.\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.
