Questions About Mola Figurative Sculptures
  • What do molas symbolize?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    What molas symbolize depends on what the images contain. Triangles depict huts of ancestor spirits, while vertical lines represent rays of the sun. Both symbols signify that a person is under the protection of family members who have previously passed away. The zigzagging forms on the textiles are meant to be teeth scaring off evil spirits.
