Cocobolo Tiles - Place Mats?

Not much to report of late - I've picked up the "this-and-that" but nothing that I would consider cool. Sometime in early February I did find this item at Goodwill - what caught my eye was the intense color and grain. Picking them up was an experience as they are about twice as heavy as I would have expected. Upon closer examination I realized that the tiles are cocobolo - if you're not familiar with the wood, it's in the rosewood family and quite prized - it's also very expensive. The whole stack was wrapped in celo so I couldn't really tell what it was, but I figured at minimum the tiles could be reused in my woodworking.

Unfolding the stack revealed two flexible mats with the tiles joined by mono-filament:

My apologies for the blurry photos - I didn't realize how bad they were until I posted - however you can get the gist and there's enough detail so you can see how beautiful they are. Each mat has at least one tile "loose" where the mono-filament has broken - easy to repair. I think they may be Danish in origin but really don't know as I haven't seen them before.

I'm thinking about stitching the two together into a single centerpiece - thoughts on that? They may have originally been together for just that, or they may be place mats (one is a tile row wider than the other). No markings that I could find. If you have any info or if you've seen them before, please let me know - I'd like to identify them.
