Horse Blanket1228/4

Colourful, decorative patchwork horse blanket. Roughly square in shape, but widened at the tail end by means of narrow triangular strips sewn on each side. The central design field is a patchwork of large multi-coloured squares: some squares contain small patchwork designs, some are solid-coloured, others contain embroidered designs and some are solid-coloured squares edged with cross-stitched borders. The central design field is bordered with a row of smaller multi-coloured squares, edged in solid black. The materials used to construct the squares are embroidered cottons, ikat silks, plain cotton broadcloth and machine printed cottons. Some elements are reclaimed from other sources. It is edged with tan commercially made, long (11.5 cm), twisted cotton(?) fringe along the back and sides of the tail end. The object is backed with striped and machine printed cotton textiles, which are pieced together; there is a light layer of cotton batting between the top and the backing.

The main design field consists of three large red diamond shapes that are decorated with blue, green, yellow and white motifs; the dominant motif resembles the number 3 or the letter E in script. There are small sun disc designs in the centre of each red diamond. The central field is surrounded by a row of rectangular embroidered red patches. There is a patchwork band of solid-coloured, natural black, brown and red-brown pieces around the edges of the design field. The short sides of the rectangle are finished with multi-coloured fringe, and there are narrow embroidered red and grey geometric borders on the long sides.
