This radial design symbolizes “hope” for the weavers of Rwanda, as exemplified in the sunburst pattern on their country’s flag. Handmade from all-natural sisal and sweetgrass fibers and organic dyes, the pad helps your counters and tabletops avoid damage from hot pans or baking dishes. But it would add a welcome note of color hung on the wall, too (and in fact, it has a handy loop attached for just that purpose).

Imported.
