Songbird Perch Mahjong Mat - Mah Jongg Mat

Four songbirds perch among flowering branches on this songbird perch mahjong mat, a cedar waxwing, an eastern bluebird, a bright goldfinch and a painted bunting resting among dogwood blossoms, berries and acorns, with a moth and a dragonfly nearby. A leafy vine band steps out to a berry-and-feather border on deep red.

It reads like a naturalist's field plate. The cream ground keeps tiles easy to read, the birds sit at the four corners so the center stays open, and the feather border ties the theme together. Guests slow down to name each bird before the first wall goes up.

The Art: The Four Songbirds

Each bird is painted in careful detail, the waxwing's mask, the bunting's jewel colors, the goldfinch's black cap, perched on branches of white dogwood and red berries in the classic bird-print tradition. A leaf-and-berry band frames the panel, and the outer border sets scattered feathers among berries on burgundy. Detail lives in the birds and frame, leaving the center readable where hands move between rounds. A quartet of real songbirds is what sets this design apart.

On the Table

Neoprene body, smooth fabric top, non-slip rubber base. The soft surface hushes the shuffle and is gentle on tile faces. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice sit steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the color into the fabric so it holds through years of weekly games without cracking or fading.

Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"

The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) fits 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 choose for a standard card table, with space for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Pick the larger square if your regulars like room to spread.

A Gift for the Birder

• The hostess who loves birds and a classic, naturalist table

Brush it clean after play, wipe with a damp cloth if the evening got lively, and store it rolled rather than folded.
