Blanket, SaddleEntry/Object ID
1989.08.008Description
Saddle blanket. Thick, heavyweight wool blanket. Its yarns are dark brown, ivory and red. At center, in brown, is a rectangle with two serrated edges, surrounded top and bottom by two triangles with serrated edges facing each other. The two triangles almost look like simplified pine trees. This motif is repeated on either side of it in red and cut in half lengthwise. One black yarn runs along the top edge to clean finish it. 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.Dimensions
