Found on a stall at a local fete, had to straighten it out a bit to get a better picture. I presume its a blanket or wall hanging, I was tempted to buy it..but managed to restrain myself.

Fantastic! It’s rare that anything on these types of wall hangings/ blankets had a photorealistic image on them. And I’ve never seen this Western motif one.
What they were charging for it?
This kind of cheap (at the time) blanket/ throw thing used to overpopulate the bargain stores here before the proliferation of Dollar and $.99 stores. Still see a lot of these, though never John Wayne, at swap meets but they’re too expensive for the $.99 stores.
Actually, taking a closer look at this, I see fringe on the ends, making me think that perhaps this is more carpet-like, more expensive than the towel-like ones I was talking about.
