[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 4379783, member: 45"]They do look like they are saddle blankets, but they are not Native American-made. They are likely from Mexico, or at least factory-made. The key elements that indicate they are not Native American: 1) The thick, twisted cord sticking out of the corners, is usually a sure sign of a Mexican copy. 2) The yarn used appears to be a synthetic blend, not wool, another indication it's not Native American. 3) The heavy outer warp threads, should be the same yarn used in the body of the textile, not thicker.[/QUOTE]
