A wreath of coral, seaweed, shells and starfish curls around a gilt compass on this emerald coral mahjong mat, painted in coral, sage and gold on a deep green ground. Gold bows and pearl strands sit at the corners. An emerald-striped border frames it all with a jewel-box richness.
Set for play, it reads like a botanical sea study on velvet. The compass draws the eye to center first, then the ring of coral and shells, then the pearls threaded through the greenery. On the emerald field, ivory tiles and pale racks stand out with real depth.
The Art: Coral and Compass
Rendered in rich watercolor with fine gilt lines, each coral branch and shell keeps its own color and shape. The compass rose steadies the center. Detail gathers around the wreath and corner bows where your eye rests between hands, while the middle stays open for tiles. Dye-sublimation keeps the emerald deep and the corals warm.
On the Table
This mat is neoprene, with a smooth fabric top and a non-slip rubber base that grips the table. The soft surface quiets tile shuffling and is gentle on tile faces. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice stay put. Dye-sublimation printing sets the color in the fabric, so a season of weekly games won't crack or fade the art.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is the compact square for smaller tables, tight corners and travel to the club. 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the full-size field for a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. For a full American mahjong table, choose the larger square.

Brush it clean after play, wipe with a damp cloth if the evening ran long, and store it rolled, never folded.
