Pendleton Mountain Majesty Blanket - Unnapped

The Pendleton Mountain Majesty blanket is inspired by the Navajo hand weaving created in the 1920’s through the 1940’s.The blankets patterns represent positive symbols of the Native American people. Terraced steps represent the mountains that need to be climbed to reach the sky and clouds above. Big mountains are a symbol of abundance while motifs in the center stripe may be viewed as saddlebags used for a journey to go up and over the mountains. Diamonds can signify the four sacred mountains of Navajo belief. Centered on the diamond designs are butterfly-like images which to the Hopi represent man’s transformation. Unnapped
