Amate Bark Paper

• The Otomoi (oh-toe-me) Indians of Mexico produce Amate (ah-ma-tay) paper by pounding the bark fibers of fig and mulberry trees on a wooden board and drying the sheets in the sun. No two papers are alike!
• Living in the Sierra Madre Mountains, the Otomoi people use the same methods of paper making used by their ancesters 3000 years ago. It's production is a main source of livelihood for their village.
• Each sheet is 15.5" x 23.5" with variable weight.
