Sayagata Pattern Aluminum Placemat L

This large placemat showcases the beauty and versatility of aluminum by combining an artfully designed aluminum mat with a black aluminum base. This combination offers both visual appeal and functional utility.

The top mat is designed in a "sayagata" pattern. Sayagata is one of the auspicious patterns that symbolizes prosperity and longevity of a family. It is a diagonal overlay of the Sanskrit character for Manji (Buddhist cross).

The robust aluminum black base has been given a matte finish, making it suitable for any interior decor. Its surface is adorned with an attractive marble-like pattern that has been formed by shallow random imprints. 

The top mat and the black base both come with round urethane rubbers on the four corners on the back side to prevent slipping and scratching, and to make them easier to lift from flat surfaces.

ALART

Metalwork has long been prized for its durability and gorgeous appearance. In Japan, bronze swords and harnesses were made from the Yayoi period (10th century BCE–mid-3rd century CE) based on techniques introduced from China and Korea. With the rise of Buddhism, the construction of temples, Buddhist statues, and ritual implements flourished, and metalworking techniques also advanced. Eventually, a wide variety of products such as tea ceremony utensils, Japanese swords, armor, and ornaments came to be manufactured.
