Large Format Amate Bark Paper - Solid Pattern - MARBLED - 45" x 95"

Go back to ancient times with this great Mexican Amate Paper! This ancient 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. It has been used through the ages in religious and legal texts and as a canvas for painting.

Made from Amate, Nettle, and Mulberry trees, the unique and earthy tones of the trees perfectly blend together for an incredible crafting paper! The Liso, or Smooth Amate Paper is a solid sheet of paper. The differing bark textures and shapes combine with the ivory and brown colors to create a granite look across the surface.

Due to the use of natural bark and the handmade process, each sheet is a unique piece of art on its own and will vary in shade, color, weight and pattern.
