This magnificently designed textile has elements of Classic Serapes, Eyedazzlers, and Classic era banded weavings rolled into one. The muscly serrated red zig-zag designs stretching across the entire compositional frame are a quintessential serape design from the Classic era. Because the size of the textile is smaller than Classic blankets, the zig-zags radiate and move the eye, a signature element found in Eyedazzler textiles. The brown horizontal bands underneath the energetic zig-zags ground the textile, a technique weavers would employ in earlier 19th century banded blankets.
