Mola Pillow Sham Set
We only have one set of the many molas we handpicked on a trip to Colombia in 2003. The picture you see shows a pillow sham with a single bird and another pillow sham with two birds facing each other. Size: Standard pillow sham (17.5"x25"). The size of the mola is 15.5" x 11.25" inches. The pillow sham material is made of a high quality durable material in red (you will not be disappointed.)

Product FeaturesProduct Details
Molas are crafts created by the Kuna indians in the San Blas islands located in the Colombo-Panamenian border. This art has been transmitted through the centuries from grandmothers to granddaughters. An avid collector of molas can easily identify the priciest pieces, they are usually very elaborated molas, probably made by a grandmother. The molas flood of color are processed by taking several layers of fabric, doing designs and cutting them in the desired color. The cutting and stitching is all done by hand. The pictures represent scenes of the natives’ daily lives, dreams, history and mythology. The women use the molas as part of their traditional clothes.
