Kuna Mola Textile – Horse & Frogs Motif, Shadow Box Frame
Colorful Kuna Mola textile artwork, crafted using the traditional reverse appliqué technique of the Guna (Kuna) people of Panama and Colombia. This vibrant composition features a bold central horse in layered red, yellow, green, and black, surrounded by stylized animal figures including frogs and a monkey. The geometric cutwork and vivid palette create a striking visual rhythm, framed by linear accents that enhance the dynamic design.
Molás are highly prized both as cultural artifacts and as works of textile art, originally created for blouses and later adapted into collectible framed panels. This example is particularly engaging for its strong color contrasts and lively animal subject matter, making it an eye-catching piece for display or collection.
