Description: All the mola panels created in this style contain a central image of typically two animals, usually birds, facing each other. They are fancifully created amidst vegetation typically recognizable as belonging to the San Blas Islands. The design is maze-like, using a series of closely cut parallel lines which also move the figures into the background. These mola panels are always two-layered and use colors that are equally saturated, often of colors on opposite sides of the color wheel. Black or white are also often used as the dramatic opposition to vibrant color. The effect is dazzling. The Kuna color sense is very sensitive to the effects that they are trying to create with this type of panel, and they are very successful. Colors typically used with other styles of mola panels, such as yellow, orange, and red, are not likely to be used in this category, rather we are as likely to see a hot pink or a shocking blue. If a typical color is used, it is juxtaposed with a color of equal intensity thus creating the illusion of vibration and overall motion. Often, the bottom layer of the panel is the same fabric as is used for the yoke and sleeves, creating a blouse that feels unified. Clearly, for many of the labyrinthine blouses, the entire unit is in advance planned.This mola has a green background and black foreground with multi-color fabrics introduced. It has a basic maze design on the sides. ✂PackagingBecause we consider our Molas unique pieces, we like to treat them with care, either for you or as a gift for someone else.
