The Spanish-Indian Room At the Saguache County Museum
|
|
The
Spanish-Indian Room is filled with beautiful rugs, Indian
finery, Sioux beadwork, Pueblo pottery, and basketry.
The rug
shown on the right, above is of special interest because of the
"Four Winds" symbol. The use of this pattern by the Navajos
was discontinued after the 1930s, when it was adopted by Adolph
Hitler.
An early Santos hangs on the south wall, with the
handsome family Bible, written in Spanish, displayed in a glass
case.
Beautiful shawls, Spanish and Indian blankets, and very
old local arrow points, artifacts, and pottery are in this
room.
