Large rectangular basketry mat with a plaid pattern done in dark brown; borders formed with wide pieces of cedar bark, central design woven with thinner pieces. Horizontal and vertical checkered bands decorate surface, creating solid rectangles where they connect. Vertical bands, grouped in twos, have angled lines throughout, that mirror that the other band; together they form chevron-like design. Angled lines alternate between pointing upward and downward.
