Description: | More or less rectangular horse blanket consisting of a brown twill-woven woollen cloth decorated with red, orange and blue embroidery. The cloth is surrounded by a lattice-patterned border. A macramé fringe surrounds the wider part at the rear. Both rear corners are additionally decorated with a braided cord which ends in coloured tassels. The horse blanket is lined with brown felt. The top is made from 12 strips sewn together and secured to the lining with blue machine stitching. The embroidery consists of five circular motifs in the main field and a foliate vine border. The seams of the woven border and the macramé fringe are hidden by orange and red braid. The blue macramé border is finished with red knotting and tassels wrapped with gold-coloured metal-wrapped thread. Collected in Xinjiang.
