Executed in orange cloth against a black background in a traditional bisu-bisu geometric maze design, the vintage textile artwork would make a striking home decor accent framed and hung on a wall.

A form of reverse appliqué work, the textile folk art has deep history among the Gunadules in Panama and Columbia. Handmade by women and girls, Molas are often sewn into garments such as blouses & skirts.

The vintage textile is in good condition showing wear consistent with its age and use. The black dye has run a bit on the back into the vibrant orange cloth.
