The Parker & Neal Mola Collection - Part 1

Updated August 26, 2026

The Parker & Neal Mola Collection Auction on August 22nd presents a compelling selection of molas drawn from the renowned collection of Ann Parker and Avon Neal, co-authors of Molas: Folk Art of the Cuna Indians. The auction features a diverse range of molas showcasing the rich artistic traditions of the Kuna (Guna) people of Panama. Collectors will find intricate reverse appliqué work with multiple fabric layers, finely executed geometric designs, and expressive figural compositions. Many pieces reflect mid-20th century production, a period prized for its balance of technical skill and bold design, while others illustrate later stylistic developments with vibrant color and graphic impact. Motifs range from traditional patterns to depictions of animals, birds, religious, and narrative scenes, demonstrating both cultural symbolism and individual artistic creativity. The selection emphasizes strong design, quality craftsmanship, and visual appeal, making it ideal for both seasoned collectors and those new to molas. This second and last offering also includes many Guna Nuchu Carved Wood Medicine Figures. This auction offers a rare opportunity to acquire works from a historically significant and well-documented collection.
