  1. Straw Mats

    Share Share Post
    Straw mats were made in my district long ago. The are used as door-mats. Long ago straw-mats were used as matresses for beds. They were also used for straddles and collars for donkeys. Mats were made form straight straw plaitted together. It is hard work to plait a big mat.
