My family lived in the Panama Canal Zone for more than 80 years, leaving only after the Canal Zone was turned over to Panama in 1999. I purchased most of these molas directly from Cuna Indians in the San Blas Islands or from vendors in Colon in the 1960s. Many of these are quite old. Most are at least 40 years old. All are guaranteed to be authentic Kuna molas from the San Blas Islands in Panama.
