    Description

    Absolutely beautiful iconic blanket.
    I beleieve this may be a Klagetoh rug, which is similar to a Ganado rug. The background, however, is grey. The center design is usually an elongated diamond with black, white, and red colors.
    Natural wool colors are used, except the red and the black may have some commercial dye. With this rug, the grey can be brownish or even tan, depending upon the fleece of the sheep used.
    The name of this rug is from a small area south of Ganado meaning ‘Hidden Springs'---again, that is what I believe from research but someone who is looking at this posting will know more i am sure!!
    Also, the rug is very heavy. The wool is a very heavy thick beautiful feel.
