Saddle Blanket1376/10

Large, multi-coloured, decorative saddle blanket made from rough wool warp-faced textile and backed with a thick layer of felted wool fleece. It is rectangular in shape, with a deep squared-off indentation (37 cm x 53 cm) at the forward end of the blanket. Cords made of braided wool fibre (72 cm long) are attached at the inside top corners of the indentation. Loops made of brown braided wool fibre are sewn near the bottom inside corners of the indentation. Two long, narrow triangular pieces are sewn at the outside edge of the back end of the blanket, making the back end of the blanket wider than the front end. The predominant colours are dark red and black, and the textile is woven in stripes that run lengthwise to the body of the horse; solid coloured stripes alternate with patterned stripes that are embellished with geometric forms. All outside edges are finished with patterned braid and long (16 cm) multi-coloured twisted fibre fringe. The heavy layer of brown felted fleece that is used as a backing over the entire underside of the blanket is quilted to the top layer with running stitches.
