Incredible Chief's blanket, professionally framed. Blanket is 41" x 53", framed 45.75" x 58". The weaver was Albert Jackson, Navajo weaver living near Cove, AZ. Chief's blankets are more distinguished by its rectangular shape which originally started out as a plain design of stripes.Phase I, dated from the early 19th century, is characterized by alternating broad horizontal stripes of white, black-brown, red, and indigo blue. Phase II innovations appeared by 1850, as Navajo weavers incorporated small red blocks into the ends and centers of the blue stripes. Phase III emerged by the 1860s. Blankets made at this time typically display a full terraced diamond in the center, quarter diamonds at each corner, and half diamonds in the center of each edge. The stripes of white, black-brown, red, and indigo blue were retained. Date: Location: Arizona HWAC # 54827
