[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 1328663, member: 84"]My friend won a storage unit yesterday & he finally got lucky! It was full of boxes & in those boxes (just what I bought from him) was 1 box of antique & vintage Stief bears and other animals, 1 box of award plaques that you hang on a leather strap across your horse when they've won a contest (some are too big to fit on a strap but they are my next post for info) and this prayer(?) rug. The rug looks like it's sewn with gold thread because it GLOWS in the light (the camera does not do it justice)! think it's a prayer rug but this one looks like it has the artist's name sewn in 1 corner which I haven't seen before? What is this? How old is it? It looks like it has words or sayings in boxes around the outer edge - can anyone translate them? Thank you in advance; I appreciate any help/info on this one.
