Pendleton Buffalo Roam Blanket

The buffalo was revered by many Native American tribes. The meat gave them food. The hides provided robes for warmth; tepee covers for shelter and shields for protection. Horns were crafted into bowls and arrowheads; and fat was rendered for candles and soap. The Buffalo Roam blanket captures the power of that mighty beast of the plains. The design by Native American watercolor artist Joe Toledo puts the sacred buffalo in perspective. Looming large in close-up and appearing smaller in the distance. The buffalo or bison was ever present in the lives of the Plains Indians. Mr. Toledo mixes soft rainwater with his colors to reflect images from his Jemez Pueblo culture. His works are exhibited in collections in the United States; Canada and Europe. Napped. 82% pure virgin wool/18% cotton. Dry clean only. Still made in the USA by Pendleton Woolen Mills.
