This old throw/blanket whatever was in a box of stuff at the auction. I know I didn't pay over $3 for the box. I don't know much about this sort of thing so....I need words to describe it in order to research it. It's about 44"x58" weighs 1lb-11oz so it's fairly heavy for it's size. I'm sure it's handmade. Looks like yarn stitched onto???? Pictures of both sides included below. Thanks all for any help or ideas! :)

Please look up first family horse blankets. If that is a native american horse blanket it can be worth hundreds of thousands. FYI, look up one of the old treasure in the news stories here on TN.

I wish it were a NA horse blanket! It doesn't seam to fit as a NA piece though as the "yarn" is spaced and woven through another solid piece of material instead of a tight weave of single strands. I may be way off. I sold an old NA camp blanket that was a very cool piece but torn and tattered sold as a "cutter piece". (cant remember exact amount). Maybe it's just a handmade blanket/throw that is vintage. I cant figure out what the yarn is woven through. It's not a flour sack.... lol
