The statements that are true about the purpose of molas are:

1. **Today, the Kuna sell molas to tourists as a way to earn money.**
2. **The traditional purpose of molas was to decorate functional items of clothing.**

The other statements regarding molas being created for museums and the Kuna resisting selling them for the sake of tradition are not accurate. Traditionally, molas were used in clothing rather than as standalone art for museums, and while there may be some resistance to commercialization, many Kuna people actively sell molas to tourists.
