Evil Eye Mahjong Mat - Mah Jongg Table Mat

A large blue nazar rests at the center of this evil eye mahjong mat, its cobalt, white and turquoise rings ringed by golden rays, set on a deep blue field with Iznik tulips and carnations scrolling from the corners. A band of small evil-eye beads steps out to a red-and-blue Turkish floral border.

It reads bold and protective. The rich blue ground makes tiles read cleanly, the single eye anchors the center, and the tulip corners and bead border give it real Ottoman character. Guests recognize the good-luck symbol right away.

The Art: Nazar and Iznik

The evil eye is painted with mosaic-like rings in blue and turquoise around a gold sunburst, surrounded by classic Iznik tulips, carnations and saz leaves in red, teal and green. A border of small blue beads circles the panel, and the outer band repeats the Turkish floral in crimson and cobalt. Detail lives in the corners and frame, leaving the center clear where hands move between rounds. A protective nazar with Iznik flowers is what sets this design apart.

On the Table

Neoprene construction, smooth fabric top, non-slip rubber base. The soft surface quiets the shuffle and protects tile faces. Walls stay put. Racks, jokers and dice hold steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the blues deep in the fabric so nothing cracks or fades through years of play.

Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"

The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is a compact square for smaller tables, tight corners and travel to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (80 x 80 cm) is the full-size field most groups pick for a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Size up if your foursome likes room.
