<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 601523, member: 8267"]Can you tell us the actual dimensions? That may help determine if it was meant to be a poncho/serape. Usually for a poncho the stripes run parallel to the center seam. Does the center stitching appear continuous, or is there evidence of a center opening having been stitched closed at a later time? I think it is more likely to be a Mexican blanket. It is typical for there to be a center seam, with the two halves woven on a narrow loom as Any Jewelry has said. Although in Mexico it is more likely they used a narrow floor loom. Again, size will help determine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
