Go back to ancient times with this great Mexican Amate Paper! This ancient bark paper dates back to pre-Columbian and Meso-American times and is still hand made by the Otomi Indian artisans of Mexico using the same methods of their Mesoamerican ancestors from 3000 years ago. Made from Amate, Nettle, and Mulberry trees, unique and earthy tones of the tree bark perfectly blend together for an incredible art work. I want to share with all the world the love for my country and it's skilled artisans. I hope you love it too! This pieces of art can be enhanced by top framing them with colored backgrounds, so the color shows through the weave. Tenango stitch work is placed on the amate for an awesome art piece. The art is shipped without frame. Please contact me for prices if you would like the art framed.
Measures 18”x18” or 46 cm x 46 cm.
