For your bidding pleasure is this Water Fowl Taking Flight Indian Blanket. This blanket shows an elegant display of three different colored water fowl. This woven blanket is in good condition with different shades of beige, along with stripes of white, brown and red. Ducks most often appear in Native American legends as gullible, foolish creatures that are often taken advantage of by trickster animals like Coyote or Fox. However, in some Eastern Algonquian legends the Merganser Duck plays the role of Earthdiver, being the only animal to succeed at diving to the ocean floor to bring up earth for the Creator or other animals to make land with. The measurements of this blanket are 57" long including end tassels and 26".
