Mat Item Number: 3237/10 from the MOA: University of British Columbia

Description

Large round woven basket or mat. Base is flat, with edge lifting slightly. Weaving incorporates dyed grass to create thick circles at centre in green, brown and black, diamond shaped patterns in four groups of two, interspersed with sets of dotted lines along the body of the mat, and encircling lines of green and brown at the rim. The circular patterning is seen on the underside of the mat, but not the diamond or dot patterns.
