Button blanket made from a rectangular piece of red wool with a border of blue wool on three sides. The bottom has no border.

In the centre is a large bird in blue with a copper on its torso, outlined in small shell buttons. The back is unlined and the top has a button for wearing.

Button blanket of dark brown velvet with red cotton borders, multiple seams. A thunderbird motif is appliquéd in red fabric in the centre of the blanket, and floral and other motifs are applied around the border with buttons, pieces of abalone shell, beads, and commercially produced “rickrack” trim. Lines of glass beads go through the red portion and the brown. The backing is a patterned cotton fabric. Hand written "Tonto" in black marker on the red border; on the opposite side of the border a Griffin patch has been sewn on. A plastic tag with the name “STANLEY” has been adhered to the bottom corner.

Large blanket woven in a “storm pattern” design. Both the warp and weft are wool. The design is symmetrical top to bottom and side to side. A large ‘x’ shape fills the centre, with geometrical shapes at top, bottom and sides in white, black and brown. Red, black and white squares sit at each corner. An undulating pattern of small red and grey squares edges the blanket on all sides, with a band of grey and brown at the outside.
