 This
show has 40 stunning molas from the San Blas Islands off the coast of
Panama that tell the story of the Bible, from the Garden of Eden to the
Ascension of Jesus into Heaven. Molas are panels of reversed embroidery
originally applied to the front and back of the Cuna women's blouses.
Each mola is a beautifully designed interpretation of biblical stories
with whimsical treatments and tender insights.
