Says the legend Kuna women learnt the art of molas many years ago from the Great goddess Kayabai, were each one is created in a unique way they are unrepeatable. Kuna people live in the Uraba region in Colombia and archipelago of San Blas in Panama'.
Molas are part of the women costume a pair is made one for the front and the other one goes to the back of their tops. As women pass through different stages in their lives, women alter the structure ans theme of their molas meaning the most complex the mola is the more skilled and experienced the woman is. Prior to being created in cloth molas were originally tattooed or painted on to the body.
