Postcard from unknown to Harry George with a photograph of a Chilkat blanket on one side. Not dated.
The back of the postcard depicts a traditional indigenous garment, possibly a Chilkat blanket, featuring intricate and symmetrical designs rendered in shades of black and beige, with prominent recurring motifs of faces and abstract forms, as well as fish depictions along the bottom. These patterns showcase a striking geometric style characteristic of Northwest Coast Native American art. The garment, edged with long, woven fringes, is bordered by a dark band that frames the entire composition, emphasizing the central designs.Subject
