Thursday I visited a friend from Panama. She invited me to her apartment, which turns out to be a small museum of Central American and Mexican folk art.
The visit ended with her giving me who knows how many Kuna (She says it's properly K.) molas circa 1950s to sell to my friends for token $10 ea. She bought the collection years ago from a friend of her mother, and when she found there are people who love needlework in town she decided it's time to divest herself of them (the molas). She wants to pass them on to people who will love them. They are amazingly detailed and gorgeous.
