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.
