Description
Vintage Chief Joseph Beaver State Pendleton Wool Blanket, Dimensions: 63" x 80".
According to the Pendleton-USA’s website for the Chief Joseph Blanket: "First woven in the 1920s, this USA-made wool blanket has been one of our most popular designs ever since. Chief Joseph led the Nez Perce tribe out of northeastern Oregon in the late 1800s. Widely admired for protecting his people and speaking the truth, he is honored with this design, symbolizing bravery. Bold arrowheads represent the chief’s courage, strength and integrity. Reverses for two different looks."
