A formliner for use in manufacturing a decorative panel made up of a layer of concrete or other cementitious material interconnecting a layer of spaced apart bricks or other decorative elements, secured in the cementitious material. The formliner is made of a resilient elastomeric material and has a generally planar layer with a plurality of upstanding laterally and transversely extending ribs that extend from the generally planar layer to define a plurality of brick receiving recesses. Each brick is received in a respective recess with its front face positioned toward the generally planar layer. The ribs extend partly up the sides of the brick from the generally planar layer to allow cementitious material to partly fill the spaces between the sides of the bricks. Cementitious material is prevented from reaching the front faces of the bricks within the recesses by a plurality of ridges that extend from the ribs to sealingly engage an adjacent surface of the brick within the recess. The generally planar layer of the formliner is provided with a plurality of upstanding pads within each recess to support a brick within the recess above the major surface of the generally planar layer, and to define a pocket between the surface of the generally planar layer and the front face of the brick. The pocket serves to accumulate any cementitious material that flows past the ridges preventing such cementitious material from settling on the front face of the brick within the recess.
