Molas are like sculptures in cloth. They are the indigenous folk art of the Kuna women living on the Caribbean islands off of Panama. Molas are created in panels using a reverse applique technique that incorporates several layers of bright, cotton fabric. When completed, these panels are fashioned into blouses with each mola panel telling a story.
If you are interested in collecting molas, the lady in the following video is an "expert". A bit of a hard sell, but very informational. Or you can visit the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles's website and see a video of their past exhibition: Fabric Tattoos, The Spirit of the Mola.Molas are now sought after by textile art collectors and designers.

Not sure, but the video says “Panama”. A little research on UTube revealed: http://www.florymola.com so you might try that.
