An archipelago called San Blas Islands and the beautiful people that live on these islands are called Guna, Kuna or Cuna. The spelling varies according to who you research. The Guna Indian woman wear a blouse, in our language this is called "Mola".A mola is found on the front and back of her blouse. The way it is made is amazing I call it “Sculpturing through cloth". For every layer of color there is a sheet of cloth, they cut through the first layer to expose the next and so forth. It can take days, weeks, months to finish a blouse as she is cutting she is designing to the imagination of her own desire. Since 1961, my mom, Flory Saltzman brought this to the world of art. Since 1989 I have enjoyed bringing this beautiful art work to many homes, offices and museums. My store is over 50 years old Enjoy my very special collection and take care Lynne Saltzman
