Mojafela (the heir) In 1860, King Moshoeshoe I, the founder of the kingdom of Lesotho, was given a wool blanket as a gift by Queen Victoria. He was very taken with it and soon abandoned his traditional leopard-skin kaross in favour of the blanket. In 1867, the Moshoeshoe approached Queen Victoria asking for Lesotho to become a British protectorate following skirmishes with Boers migrating Northwards into the interior. The crown represents the history between King Moshoeshoe and Queen Victoria and England. Available Colours:  Pink & Blue Pink & Brown Peacock blue & Black Cobalt blue & Black  Available Sizes: 155x165cm 110 x 130cm (Mini Kids) (smaller sizes for children are available on request) Fabric: 100% Acrylic Care: The best way to wash is to hand wash with course salt (the salt removes the dirt and keeps the fabric soft).
