Latin American folk textile art, bohemian tribal fabric wall Panama Mola décor

Description: Description:"The identifying feature of this category is typically a single figure or a related group of figures prominently situated in the middle ground of the panel. Also, with the central image in place, spaces remain in the corners. Therefore, this category is often also recognizable by little, often-unrelated figures appliquéd in these corners. These mola panels are almost always made of three layers, however, infrequently a mola-maker will take on the added complication of including a fourth layer. Sources for the designs that are used for this category are eclectic. They come from the imagination of the maker, from their natural environment, from within the Kuna communities, and from printed materials that come from all parts of the world. They are often used in the spirit of humor or irony. The Mola panels also present an overall visual effect of bright and deep redness, although the other colors frequently used are black, and brightly colored, fully saturated orange, yellow and green. Pink is used on occasion. Black and red are the more likely choices for the top layer and are sometimes reversed, with the top layer red on one side and black on the other."
