Model No:03CM0372Title:Chamaleon Multicolor Mola PanelOrigin:Indigenous Kuna Community of Panama and Colombia.Style:Handmade Textile ArtDimensions:16” x 12 1/2” approx.Age:Vintage from before 2000 Orientation:LandscapeCondition:Unframed No of layers:2Technique:Reverse Applique Technique & EmbroideryCategory:Central Motif Description Category:The Central Motif Category requires a single subject that is placed singly, bilaterally, or in four quadrants on each panel, each repeat slightly different from the others, thus increasing the complexity of the design. The subject matter is entirely open, the more creative the better, permitting the mola-maker to use her imagination and her sense of humor. Technically, she would first create a template and reuse the template three times to ensure duplication, requiring reduced virtuosity. Using middle layers of different colors, sometimes even top layers of different colors, and switching them from side to side heighten the sense of complexity. Thus, the middle layer of the area inside the motif would be a different color from the middle layer outside the motif. Easily modified appliqué and embroidery are added, again using a sense of creativity. Background filler and corner appliqués are added to again increase the perceived level of complexity. Inserting pieces of colored fabric, giving the illusion of more layers, is also an easy technique used to confound the viewer. The colors used are typically red, orange, yellow, green and a layer of black.Sources for the designs that are used for this category are eclectic. They come from the imagination of the maker, from their natural environment, from within the Kuna communities, and from printed materials that come from all parts of the world. They are often used in the spirit of humor or irony.* *Jennings-Rentenaar, T. (2005).
