Navajo Single Saddle Blanket, Circa 1930

Navajo

Wool | Item 2420

This Navajo single saddle blanket may be a double weave, with the colors in reverse on the back, but I have not taken it out of the frame to check. The beading in the weaving shows two different densities, with the top and lower portion a finer beading, and the middle, which is larger than both ends, shows a less dense beading pattern. The effect is pleasing overall. There remains intact both warp and weft selvages and four corner tassels. The photos are poor due to the reflections in the plexiglass. The weaving is well framed with a high grade plexiglass to protect it. The frame comes with the blanket.
