    This was picked up at a recycling centre for £2.
    I think its a prayer mat ??.
    It has a very well made inlaid framework so can be hung on the wall , the colours on the mat are a lot brighter than in the photos !!
    The mat is 2ft wide and roughly 6ft long and very decorative , even the small patterns are mostly different to each other, it looks like cotton/silk and has a hand made look to it .. (not that im an expert ).
    If anyone can tell me if im right or wrong it would be much appreciated , also where do you think it could be from ??

      It might be a decorative wall hanging. Javanese?

      Thanks for your loves mikelv85, vetraio50,
      it could be a decorative wall hanging but its folded in half on the hanger type wooden framework ! I would have thought that if wall hanging it would be fixed on the top & hang full length which would be around 8ft total..
      ive only gone with prayer mat from what I was told when I bought it , ..
      thanks vetraio50 for the comment it gives me another route to explore ;-)
