Wedding blanket

(UEM49195) Triple border. Characteristic multi-colored diagonal lines pattern at the vertical edges of both panels. Each panel is divided into four sections with a central diamond motif. All around these are geometric patterns, flowers, and other vegetal motifs. Also a rider in one of the panels. The embroidery is lightly worked and does not completely cover the background cloth. Would seem that the background color is used as part of the decorative scheme. The fringes are plaited.
