Woven, almost square, patterned mat. Woven design is in shades of beige, light brown and black which form wide horizontal and vertical bands, diagonal bands along the edges and a dark and light H pattern in the horizontal bands. There is a thicker border woven over the mat on both sides, about 5 cm from the edges, that runs all the way around the square. The back is similar to the front except much of the black area is done in a light brown weave so the H design is in beige and light brown.
The mat is square with rounded corners and geometric patterns. The centre is a natural coloured square surrounded by a square of brown diagonal lines. Next is a square of black squares alternating with the positive and negative images of two triangles, points touching. There is another square of brown diagonal lines. Then there is a large square of brown diamond shapes with the four corners solid brown. Finally the outside edge has a border of black designs resembling 'EIE'.
