Rare Navajo Chief Blanket
(Links to YouTube video)
See a rare Navajo blanket made for the Chief. It is THE MOST valuable item ever appraised on the Antiques Roadshow, they say. It is a hand-woven Navajo Ute First Phase wearing blanket representing the very beginnings of Navajo textile creation. The owner is shocked and thrilled with what he learns about this blanket that laid on the back of a chair for generations, and it just might be related to Kit Carson!
