EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling handicraft market in Panama City, Panama, a vibrant Kuna Indian mola stands out with its intricate patterns and rich colors. The mola, a traditional textile art form from the Kuna Yala (Guna Yala) indigenous territory in Panama, is meticulously hand-stitched using layers of fabric. Each mola is a unique work of art, featuring intricate designs inspired by nature, such as this stunning representation of a butterfly and a flower. The Kuna people, also known as the Guna, are an indigenous community located along the Caribbean coast of Panama and Colombia. They have preserved their unique culture and traditions, including the art of molas, which have gained international recognition for their beauty and craftsmanship. The molas are made by layering brightly colored fabric and cutting out intricate designs, leaving the layers visible to create a stunning, textured effect. Each mola can take several days to complete, making them a valuable and cherished piece of art. The handicraft market in Panama City is a popular destination for tourists seeking authentic souvenirs and a glimpse into Panama's rich cultural heritage. The market offers a wide variety of molas, each one a testament to the skill and creativity of the Kuna artisans. This photograph, taken by Cindy Miller Hopkins, captures the essence of the Kuna mola art form and the vibrant energy of the Panama City handicraft market. The intricate details of the mola, from the delicate butterfly wings to the intricate patterns, come alive in this stunning image, inviting us to explore the rich cultural heritage of Central America.
