About this weaving

Own a piece of Navajo weaving history with this captivating single saddle blanket, crafted from premium hand-carded and hand-spun native wool. What makes this antique truly exceptional is its mysterious "mc squared" inscription—woven letters that spark intrigue about its original owner. Was it commissioned for someone with initials W.C.S., M.C.S., or perhaps inspired by scientific brilliance? The weaver's intentional or serendipitous letterwork adds layers of meaning to this 28.5" x 31.5" treasure. Beyond its enigmatic charm, the blanket showcases masterful traditional craftsmanship and rich wool quality that only authentic Navajo weaving provides. A conversation piece that bridges art, history, and mystery.
