Saddle Blanket1228/7

Decorative, multicoloured saddle blanket, rectangular in shape and consisting of two identical square panels of thick knotted pile, separated by a 14.5 cm centre strip of dark blue cotton textile. Each of these panels is embellished with ram’s head, swastika and Greek key border motifs, surrounding a large diamond-shaped lozenge containing stylized floral motifs. The motifs are predominantly red, pink, light brown and off-white on a dark blue background; the lozenge shaped pattern appears on a red background. Two corners of the rectangle are notched. There are four small rectangular spots that are devoid of pile, exposing the burlap base fabric, two on either panel, which would be under the saddle when in use. The edges of the saddle blanket are bound with a wide (3.5-4 cm) band of red cotton corduroy, cut on the bias, and the back of the blanket is lined with pieced off-white cotton canvas.
