Blues by Patrick Syme from "Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours" (1821) Yoga Mat

The mat looks “ dirty” with quite a few areas being discolored with brown patches! In many areas, the words and blue colors are fading, making it look like a very old mat, so I decided not to give it as a present to my friend , although it was not a cheap mat since I could have gotten a regular new Yoga mat at local stores at cheaper price, but thought the pattern was interesting. I don’t know if all these mats look the same or maybe mine was not a good one, but it would have been too cumbersome to send back and get a new one .
