Description

Saddle blanket. Thick, heavyweight square wool blanket. It is tri-color. Its yarns are mustard yellow, ivory and red. Two mustard yellow lines border its top and bottom edge. Vertical bands of diagonally slanted diamonds in red, ivory and mustard yellow decorate its center- all clumped together. Its medium is hand-spun wool and its technique is tapestry weave (weft-faced plain weave). Noting its smaller size, this object may be more on an ornamental basis than an actual saddle blanket.
