| Fig. 7: A double saddle blanket with a white field and a red and brown border.
Navajo, circa 1900. 56 x 34 inches. Private collection, Santa Fe (see fig. 2 for views of this blanket on horseback) This blanket and fig. 9 have identical yarns and similar formats, but the visual effect of this blanket is much more composed and controlled. White fields are rare, probably because they were harder to keep clean than gray fields. |
