Black Banig Mat

A beautiful, handwoven banig mat from Bukidnon, Philippines. Made from woven sodsod grass with patterns inspired by nature.

Inspired by native motifs including geometrical patterns and sun patterns.

DETAILS

• Size: Round, approximately 4' diameter.
• Make:  Plant-dyed and natural colored woven grass. Proudly handwoven by the TWWA, which actively preserves its traditional Bukidnon-Tagolanen cultures.
• Care: Keep dry. To remove folds from the banig, gently flex it in the opposite direction of the folds, or use weights like heavy books for 1-3 days to flatten it. To clean your banig, gently shake out any dirt and dust. One may use a handheld vacuum with a brush attachment. Do not use a strong vacuum like a floor or robot vacuum since this may damage the handwoven material over time.
  

Each handwoven banig is individual and distinct; no two are identical. Read more about how these were woven on our Journal here.
