{"product_id":"where-the-red-road-doubles-back-panama-mola","title":"Where The Red Road Doubles Back Panama Mola","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhere The Red Road Doubles Back Mola is a hand sewn textile by a Guna (Kuna) artisan in Panama. Two great hooked forms lock together at the center, each built from concentric bands, and the four small dashed bars inside the turns work like markers in a puzzle. Your eyes go hunting for a way out and never quite find one, which turns out to be the fun of it. At 16 inches wide and 13 inches high, it has a near square shape that frames beautifully and anchors a wall. Put it in a modern living room or an office where you want pattern without clutter.\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.
