Green and white loom woven with red crochet border. The blanket has a design that consists of ovals pointing toward each other with an X in the middle, which serves as the corner for the squares whose sides are composed of ovals. In the middle of the square, there is a smaller solid green square, with even smaller green squares coming off of the corners. The red crocheted border is scalloped and made of yarn.

Blankets like this could have been used as a part of a woman's prika, or dowry.
