Kit Kapp Collection 1950s or 1960s Kuna Mola: Starts At Night

Niskwa Muttikki(Stars at Night) Mola collected by Kit Kapp. From the first glance. I knew this was a special mola. It just doesn't fit into any of the"typical design categories" one normally sees. The next sing of"specialness" is the cloth- very light and floppy, almost like a handkerchief- nothing like the more robust ottomano cloth molas of the early to mid 1960s.

Kit Kapp Collection 1950s-1960s Kuna Mola: Puberty Festival

Kantule-Gan Chicha(Chanters Singing at Inna Puberty Festival) Mola collected by Kit Kapp. This very large mola has many signs of early age. Including the cloth used, and the size of the"slit design" filler motifs. It was also well loved, and long-worn, so it has some wear and a couple of patched breaks in the bottom layer of cloth. It depicts three Kantule chanters at a Chicha Fest celebrating a young girl's coming of age. Note that two of the Kantules are holding large three-pronged gourd maracas. I love the abstract representation of the chanters' heads- they remind me of African tribal masks. This mola has been in my personal collection for some time.and originally from one of the great early collections of molas. 22" x 18" A comment on pricing: I believe some of the pieces I will be listing in the next couple ... moreof weeks are far more valuable than the opening bid price- because of design.

Spectacular Kit Kapp Collection 1950s-1960s Kuna Mola: Deer

Wasa Tummadi(Large Deer) Mola collected by Kit Kapp. Big and bold. This mola has a style that is quite unusual- very bold with a minimum of filler elements, and no slit-filler-motifs. It depicts a very large deer, perhaps being stalked by the beast in the upper right corner. Throughout the mola you'll see small"speckles" of embroidery using black thread. I have no idea of the purpose of these random sprinkles, squiggles. But I have seen such things in early molas, so maybe this is even earlier than the'50s.hard to say. A different and interesting piece with graphic strength.

Kit Kapp Collection Kuna Mola 1950s - 1960s: Devil Eagle

Sulup Nia(Devil Eagle) Mola collected by Kit Kapp. The imagery on this mola can be interpreted a couple of different ways. One view is that the eage(or is it a dragon? is swooping down and attacking the monkey in the lower-right corner. My interpretation is that the devil-eagle is actually a spirit rising from the monkey. Size. Style and cloth indicate this is probably a 1950s mola, though it could be early 1960s or late 1940s. Note the use of early printed cloth inserts. This mola has been in my personal collection for some time.and originally from one of the great early collections of molas. 22" x 15.5" NOTE: I WILL BE TRAVELING FROM MONDAY.

This example mimics a Canadian 1842 50 cent coin- see coin image for comparison(coin is NOT included in this auction) While this piece is big enough to be from the 1940s. It's more likely to be from the 1950s, based on the cloth used and the even size and spacing of the slit filler motifs(tas tas) A nice piece, showing some age and wear, and with one tiny hole, which is pretty hard to see.

1950s - 1960s Kuna Mola, Kit Kapp Collection - Bizarre Lion King, Flying Head

Bizarre 1950s- 1960s Mola.Collected by Kit Kapp. I've run across several molas with this strange design. A jaguar or lion wearing a crown. Snarling at a bird flying by with a wand or scepter or branch in its claws- and a disembodied bird head flying through the air! I have never run across a good explanation of the imagery- if you've got it, let me know! The base cloth on a large area in the top of the piece must have worn through and the Kuna maker patched it with a big piece of newer red cloth- if you look closely you can see where the"outline cloth" is a darker red- that's the replaced area. But it shows pretty well. There are several other small gaps in the base cloth that have not been patched. A wild wild mola.
