Handcrafted by women of the Kuna tribe, they elaborate designs meant to be used for protection using geometric shapes to symbolize elements in nature. Molas are hand made using a reverse appliqué technique. Several layers (two to seven) of different coloured cloth are sewn together; the design is then formed by cutting parts of each layer away. The edges of the layers are then sewn down; the finest molas have extremely fine stitching, made using tiny needles.
