Handmade Mexican Vintage Wool Serape Woven Tapestry Blanket Eagle Snake

Handmade "Mexico" Vintage Wool Serape Woven Tapestry Blanket Throw This soft, wool blanket is hand woven in the historical Tenochtitlan (Place of the prickly pear) design – that of the eagle holding the snake standing on the prickly pear. In their legend, the Aztec or Mexica, were to travel until finding the place of the prickly pear and build their city there. In 1325, they stopped on an island in a marshy area (now the site of Mexico City), when they saw the bird and snake in the area of the cactus. Woven in cream, burnt orange, brown, deep red and black, the blanket measures 79” long (not counting the fringe) and 48” wide. Could serve as a rug, but it could be used as a gorgeous wall hanging or as a throw over a chair or sofa. It is in excellent condition with no holes, tears, stains or odor. There is one decorative thread that has pulled loose – it can be seen in several photos. There are some shadows in pictures, but they are due to lighting, not stains.
