mola
- Object description
Kvinnoskjorta, mola. Gjord av "äldsta kvinnan i Forbidden Land".
Kommentarer: Mrs Frederick McKim skriver i brev till H. Wassén av den 14/8 1951 om detta föremål: se baksida
" The year before we left the zone Mr. McKim asked one of the Chiefs who was at our home to ask the oldest woman in the Forbidden land to make him a mola. He gave money to the Chief to buy the material in Panamá and in two months he brought the Mola. It was unlike any we had ever seen."
Mrs. McKim skriver ytterligare om denna mola och 51.19.2-mola`n: "These two molas are the only ones to come out of the Forbidden land and I fell they should be in a safe place. I know you will prize them in your museum".
Då Mr. Frederick McKim dog i U.S.A. den 1.1 1946 och lämnade Canal Zone under 1945, bör tidsuppgifetn " the year before, etc." syfta på1944.
H.W-n.
