Vendor of the local indigenous peoples' embroidery work "mola" in Old Town. The mola forms part of the traditional costume of a Kuna woman, two mola panels being incorporated as front and back panels in a blouse. The full costume traditionally includes a patterned wrapped skirt (saburet), a red and yellow headscarf, arm and leg beads, a gold nose ring (olasu) and earrings in addition to the mola blouse (dulemor). The mola originated with the tradition of Kuna women painting their bodies with geometrical designs, using available natural colors; in later years these same designs were woven in cotton, and later still, sewn using cloth bought from the European settlers of Panamá.
