Blanket2508/2

Multicoloured sheep's wool blanket or nambu (སྣམ་བུ). , constructed from five narrow (about 21 cm) strips of equal length, aligned side by side, and sewn together edge to edge. Each of these strips is woven in a repeated pattern of narrow horizontal stripes, of black, red and two shades of blue, alternating with wider stripes of off-white and orange-yellow. On the right side of the blanket, the off-white and orange-yellow stripes are over-printed with repeated cross-shaped motifs known as as gya tram (རྒྱ་གྲམ་) in red and dark blue. When sewing the strips together, no attempt was made to align the patterns, resulting in a random design. The reverse side is the same but without the cross motifs. The blanket is bordered on three sides with narrow (9 and 18 cm) strips of multicoloured striped wool textile. The ends are faced and bound with red cotton velveteen, printed with floral motifs in black. On the reverse side of the blanket, a 1 cm wide band of black fabric that has been printed with small white and green motifs is sewn where the border and the main body of the blanket meet.
