Navajo Double Saddle Blanket

Size: W 30” x L 48 1/2”

Period: Circa 1885-95

Origin: Navajo

Material: Handspun aniline dyed wool.

Description: Navajo Transitional Blanket. Very soft blanket woven with handspun wool and cotton warps. Although I’m calling this a double saddle blanket, many might call this a child’s blanket. All the dyes are aniline except the white is natural and the green could be a vegetal dye. Condition is good, expect for some edge wear.
