Ceremonial Sitting Mat

Mark A. Johnson Tribal Art

This mat would be tied around the waist and hang from the back.  When needed, the user could sit down on the conveniently placed mat.

This example is uncommon as the motifs are painted on the mat.

Rattan, shells, pigments.   19th to early 20th century.
