Title A name given to the resource 63_34_114.jpg Description An account of the resource Dates: 1850-1860 Size: 128 x 161 cm; 10 warps(comma) 56 wefts Description: This is an example of a phase I chief's blanket. Such wearing blankets are considered the high point of traditional Navajo weaving. All chief's blankets are woven with a greater width than length and are characterized by broad horizontal black and white stripes with three perpendicular bands. Chief's blankets were traded by the Navajo to other indigenous groups(comma) including the Ute(comma) Plains groups(comma) and Pueblos. The phase I style is characterized by red and blue stripes. Ute tribes particularly preferred the phase I design(comma) even when the more elaborately decorated phase II and III chief's blankets hit the market. This blanket was given to Major General Frederick Funston in 1915. Although Funston is known for his role in both the Spanish-American and Philippine-American wars(comma) it was during the conflict with Mexico in 1914 to 1916 that he found himself in the Southwest. During this time he occupied the city of Veracruz and took part in the hunt for Pancho Villa.

Such wearing blankets are considered the high point of traditional Navajo weaving. All chief's blankets are woven with a greater width than length and are characterized by broad horizontal black and white stripes with three perpendicular bands.

This form of weaving broke with the traditional horizontal orientation of weft (or how yarn was passed over and under the stationary warp threads) to a diagonal orientation. Although this weaving technique is a more efficient way to create diagonals(comma) it effects the structure of the rug or blanket. Wedge weaves are characterized by zigzag lines and scalloped edges. This example is made of natural(comma) carded(comma) and aniline colors. The use of the aniline dyes from Germantown(comma) PA(comma) allowed the incorporation of more stunningly bright colors.
