What is a chief's blanket?
1 Answer
A chief's blanket is a type of textile produced by the Navajo indigenous people. It usually features stripes and geometric forms in black and white colors. Some designs also include blue and red. The name comes from the fact that European traders usually only saw high-ranking members of tribes using them because they were luxury items among the Navajo. On 1stDibs, find a selection of chief's blankets.
