Detail of the first designs

The Chief's Blanket has one large design in the center with two half designs at both ends. The blanket is wrapped around so that the large center design is in the center back and the four half designs wrap around to the front and meet to form two designs as is illustrated in the photograph below. The Native American woman pictured here is wearing a blanket the way a Chief would.
