Add to that the design is relatively unusual as it shows highly stylized geese paired in mirror image and creating a diamond shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe indigo dye has dulled to a greyish tone and there is evidence of some yellowing to the cotton which is evidenced mostly on the lower, right hand corner of the mat.  It is illustrated here on a detail photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe actual use for this mat is not clear however it could have been used for sitting, as a cloth to place a baby, something like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a charming object with a fairly unusual pattern which could be used as a home accessory or for any other inventive application that comes to mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71155843956924,"sku":"eii1794067426177","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/3129\/9516\/files\/a-hand-stitched-indigo-dyed-cotton-small-mat-katazome-as-kasuri_1.jpg?v=1794067430","url":"https:\/\/festiveclad.shop\/products\/a-hand-stitched-indigo-dyed-cotton-small-mat-katazome-as-kasuri","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
