Petates or Mats
Al Rendon
Witte Museum
San Antonio, Texas, United States
Petates, or mats, were used to sit on (much like a throw rug) and as work surfaces. When placed too close to the fire, they get burned, as this mat shows. The fragment on top measures 50 cm (19.7 inches) in maximum dimension. Witte Museum Collection
