Pua (Ceremonial Blanket)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Reddish-brown ceremonial blanket with intricate light beige designs. The blanket is rectangular with a fringe at the top. The main body of the blanket features a repeating pattern of symmetrical shapes, including diamonds and teardrops, in a light beige color. These shapes are interconnected and form a larger design that covers most of the blanket. Along the edges of the blanket, there are borders featuring stripes in shades of red, green, and beige. The top and bottom edges have a decorative border with a zig-zag pattern in the same light beige color as the main design. The title of the piece is "Pua (Ceremonial Blanket)" and it is by an unknown artist.
