Vintage Panama retailer Kuna Mola - Double Eagle

Hand made mola from the Kuna Yala group living retailer in the islands east of Panama in Central America.
Molas are intricately handstiched works of art that are often transformed into garments for the tribe. This is a rendition of a flying eagle has very good quality of fabric and embroidery down to the colorful horns and faces. This work most likely dates from the 1960's thru 1970s. Measures: 14.75H" x 17.5" W

Having an unframed textile mola gives you alot of possibilities for use.
