A twilled double saddle blanket
Fig. 1: A twilled double saddle blanket with a white field and connected triangles at each end.
Navajo, circa 1890.
51 x 31 inches.
Private collection,
Santa Fe
This blanket and the one in fig. 3 are typical of 19th century Navajo double saddle blankets in that their centers are unbordered. However, their upper and lower borders prefigure the enclosure of space that characterizes 20th century double saddle blankets.
