Lot Of 5 Vintage Mola Patches by Kuna Women ~ San Blas Indian Folk Art

Description: This lot of 5 mola patches are from my mother's estate. They were probably made sometime prior to 1975. I know this because my dad was stationed with the Army there until 1975 when we moved back to the states for his next post. Each patch was never used and was stored in her sewing stash until I discovered them when going through her estate. The larger patches measure about 3 inches x 3 inches The smaller patches measure about 2.5 in x 2.5 in Minimal variance due to the nature of being handmade. In case you are unfamiliar with Molas, I included some pictures from a newspaper my mother saved and below are links to websites that provide further descriptions of this unique creation and its history.

Sold As Is - pictures provided to show quality and condition of the item. Feel free to request more if needed. Whenever possible, we reuse boxes and packing material. Recycling is important to us. Not too long ago, my mother passed away, with dementia being the primary factor. I am finally in a place to start dealing more with all the items remaining in her estate. For years while she was alive, I couldn't bring myself to do it. She was a consummate environmentalist and hated the thought of our landfills being filled or our oceans polluted. That is why formany things I have decided to sell instead of donate. That way I know for sure they find their place in the home of someone that wants it, not in a landfill. With her items, I am now going to donate 20% of each sale to organizations that research for the cure and support caregivers of dementia patients. Each listing may support a different organizatio
