Vintage Native American Beacon or Camp Blanket

Collectibles : Native Americana : Indian Blanket

 

More southwest kitsch or style, a vintage camp, beacon, or horse blanket, I have heard it called all of these.

It has a rare and wonderful design of Native American Indians, complete with a long feather headdress, who are in position to shoot an arrow. It has reverse colors on one side.

Other great border designs include buffaloes, fish swimming in a circle, and a row of quivers. Colors are light green, yellow and grey. Made in a medium weight cotton, it measures 60 inches square.

Condition is good, with about 4 small holes and a few areas of weakening to the material from age. Still a great decorator piece!
