Description

Large, finely-woven tan mat. All four sides have fringed grass borders, with two edges having thick, full fringes and two having thinner and more sporadic fringes. One side has two decorative borders, one of triangle shapes and a second, inner border of feathers. The feathers are arranged with their red tips outwards and their brown bases towards the centre, creating a striped effect. There are white feathers at regular intervals along the border. Three short lines of feathers run vertically up from the decorative edge of the mat.
