This compelling example of design is virtually the opposite of the preceding plate #1. It features the peak period design layout of a small controlled center along with unrestrained end elements. The stepped block double diamonds radiate energy into a field punctuated by the spider woman crosses. Woven on a field of lacdyed bayeta with deep blue indigo, the materials suggest a date that precedes the commonly accepted later use of the crosses, stepped diamonds and stepped block diamonds. The blanket measures 52” x 32” and is woven of lac-dyed bayeta, indigo blue and handspun white.
