Blanket 1851 - 1900

This Pueblo blanket, a striking example of traditional Native American textile art, is composed of horizontal bands of white, red, and black. The repeated bands create a simple, elegant pattern that is visually appealing and also reflects the Pueblo people's belief in the power of repetition. The blanket, currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, dates back to the late 19th century and demonstrates the skill and artistry of Pueblo weavers.
