A traditional handwoven Yup'ik Yup'ik beach rye grass oval mat by Katie Mann, possibly in a style of Yup’ik origin, which features a simple pattern of alternating red and green concentric circles. The outermost ring of woven grass is beginning to separate from the edges of the mat at either end, as photographed, which may have been an intentional design element for using the mat as a serving tray. Item measures approximately 17.5" x 11.5".
