A kuna mola, the traditional Panamanian costume, which depicts a toucan by way of intricate fabric cutouts. The mola, requiring a high level of craftsmanship, is created by sewing together several layers of vibrant fabric, cutting away small strips, and using a reverse applique technique to hide the stitches. The result is a multi-dimensional textile with depth and vibrant rainbow hues.
