**⭐ RARE MID-CENTURY ESTATE FIND WITH ORIGINAL BOUTIQUE TAG ⭐**
Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectible set of two (2) authentic vintage Kuna (Guna) Indian Mola textile panels, hand-crafted in the San Blas Islands of Panama. These two pieces were acquired together from a premium estate and date back to the mid-century era.
One of the panels retains its incredibly rare, original dual-sided retail paper tag from the historic "Gran Morrison Handicraft Export Division" based in Panama City, Republic of Panama. The front features the boutique logo for "Casa de la Artesanía Panameña," while the reverse preserves a bilingual inventory of authentic Panamanian indigenous goods, complete with a vintage 6-digit telephone number (62-7000) and Telex code. This tag acts as an ironclad certificate of authenticity for the entire set, verifying they were sourced directly from genuine indigenous artisans circa 1960s-1980s.
**Panel 1 (Rooster/Bird Motif):**
Features a striking, intricately stylized bird/rooster motif enveloped by bold geometric leaf-and-vine patterns. It displays advanced multi-layered reverse appliqué (3-4 distinct color levels) with exceptionally dense parallel horizontal and vertical "slot cuts" and fine embroidery accents filling all background space.
**Panel 2 (Tagged Motif):**
[Insert a brief 1-sentence description of the second mola's design here, e.g., "Features a beautiful geometric abstract pattern styled in matching traditional colors"]. Retains the original paper store tag attached via its vintage staple.
**Specifications:**
- Culture/Origin: Indigenous Guna (Kuna) People, San Blas, Panama
- Era: Circa 1960s - 1970s (Mid-Century)
- Technique: Layered Reverse Applique & Hand Embroidery
**Condition:**
Excellent vintage/pre-owned condition. Both panels were carefully preserved. No significant stains, holes, or structural issues. The tagged piece shows some minor age to the paper label itself, which adds to its authentic charm. Please review all high-resolution photos for exact condition.
