This Kuna mola was created by the Indigenous Kuna people of the Caribbean coast of Panama, traditionally known as the San Blas Islands. The inclusion of stitched text such as “San Blas India” suggests the piece was made for the tourist or export market, likely in the mid-20th century, when molas were increasingly produced for sale and often labeled for outside buyers. The sewn inscription “el arcaide, Noe,” written in Spanish with phonetic or non-standard spelling, appears to reference the biblical story of Noé. The central image depicts three figures aboard a ship, reflecting a narrative scene interpreted through traditional Kuna visual language. Combining bold imagery with hand-stitched lettering, this mola demonstrates how Kuna artists adapted outside stories while preserving their distinctive reverse appliqué technique and cultural aesthetic.
