The panels measure a little over 14 in. by 16 in. Condition– noticeable soil on the yellow fabric especially around the collar; one small pull in one of the sleeves; a few other loose threads here and there; color in the panels is quite fresh so this item has probably been washed very little. Maybe never. Textile art/ reverse appliqué Thanks for bidding!

This makes them fragile and they may suffer from some surface damage over time. This effigy has the essence of the spirit represented, you can tell the difference from the modern tourist ... morepottery being produced today. This particular pot measures from 3” to 6” in diameter and is 4 ½” tall, and is in excellent condition. The bottom is a deeper ochre yellow and the browns in the geometric pattern are bold and dark. This pot was collected from the Ecuadorian Amazon in the early eighties and it was old then. Really a fine piece of Shipibo Pottery, excellent effigy all intact. It’s becoming more difficult to find these older examples of Shipibo pottery. See the many photos for the condition and composition of this rare artifact.

Brutalist Triangular Trinket Box Gold & Silver Color Metals, Old Primitive
Looks similar to antique Chinese boxes I have seen with same shape and size. However. This one is lacking any Asian motifs or figural or floral imagery and may be Latin/ Central American or from the Middle East. North Africa(Tunisa, Morroco) I have no idea. I believe I may have bought it on a trip to Central America but really don't remember where I bought this or how much I paid. It is definitely handmade and has a good bit of age to it based upon the patina on the metals used. Primitive or brutalist design.

This purse pouch bag fabric was used as a coca bag by the indigenous people of Peru. This little pouch is just a gem in fineness and design work and was undoubtedly used in ceremonial events.

Outside of Peru these eye-catching bags can be used to carry talismans. Chumpi stones, meteorites or make a stylish tote. In Peru these bags. Which hang low at the hip, are used to carry coca leaves. Coca leaves are chewed and brewed in tea as a precaution against altitude sickness. Coca leaves have been chewed by South American Indians for 4000 years. The coca leaf was used by the Incas. Inca descendants(Quechuans) Tiwanaku, Aymara and other nomadic Andean cultures The Incas in particular venerated coca. They used coca in magical ceremonies initiation rites. Divination and fertility rituals. Francisco Pizarro was the Spanish conquistador who conquered the Inca Empire in 1572. Where use of the Coca Leaf was initially banned by the Spanish. But the invaders then discovered that without the coca leaf the natives could barely work the fields, or mine gold, so they began distributing it to the workers during brief rest breaks. Returning Spanish conquistadors then introduced it to Europe. Additional Background Information: I began my fieldwork and ethnographic studies in South and Central Ame

Fabulous 1960's Kuna Spiderweb Mola, ex Kit Kapp Collection
Museum Quality"Tipa" Spider in Web) Mola collected by Kit Kapp. This is a great example of why I think that molas are the pinnacle of folk art textiles. The faces on the three weird little spiders could provide a powerful graphic definition of the phrase"folk art. Crude and sophisticated. Fun and scary, and well, just plain odd. The abstract spider web is wild and colorful. Very good condition. A very collectible piece. From one of the great early mola collections. 20.5" x 16" The Kit Kapp Collection. Like many of the molas I sell. This on is from the collection of Kit Kapp, who mapped the San Blas Islands from 1960 to 1970, and wrote one of the first English-language books on molas. Mola Art from the San Blas Islands. Please note that by bidding on this mola. You grant me the right to use its image in the production ... moreof a book and web site on mola art. Thanks for reading.

1960's Kuna Child's Mola, ex Kit Kapp Collection - Abstract Firefans
Pikpi(Firefans) Child's Mola collected by Kit Kapp. Many modern molas are about this size- but when this one was made. In the 1960s, one of this size would have been for a young girl. I double that a child made it, however, because the workmanship is spectactular, with smooth even lines and"invisible" stitching. Graphically very pleasing, two-layer abstract molas like this represent a very under-appreciated art form. From one of the great early mola collections. 15" x 11.5" The Kit Kapp Collection. Like many of the molas I sell. This on is from the collection of Kit Kapp, who mapped the San Blas Islands from 1960 to 1970, and wrote one of the first English-language books on molas.

Rare School Numbers Kuna Mola, ex Kit Kapp Collection
Escuela Trabajo(School Work) Mola collected by Kit Kapp. Starting in the first decade of the 20th century. Catholic and Baptist missionaries began setting up schools in an attempt to"civilize" the Kuna Indians. The mathematics classes taught in these schools inspired a number of molas because the Kuna girls liked the shape of the numbers- they were good visual material for use in a mola. This example of an"escuela" mola features wonderful, folky, colorful numbers in a wild sort of grid. A very cool piece. I've never seen another quite like it. Pretty good condition considering its age, with some minor roughness on some top-layer sections. From one of the great early mola collections. 19" x 14.5" The Kit Kapp Collection. Like many of the molas I sell. This on is from the collection of Kit Kapp, who mapped ... morethe San Blas Islands from 1960 to 1970, and wrote one of the first English-language books on molas.
