  1. Amate PAPER PAINTING FROM mEXICO

  2. Amate • or papal Amate is created from the bark of mulberry or fig trees. The mulberry tree creates an off-white paper, while the fig tree creates a much darker paper. The bark is washed, boiled, and laid in lines on a wooden board. The fibers are then beaten with a stone until they fuse together. The paper finds it’s way to the Nahua Indians of southern Mexico who have excelled for several generations at painting bright village and wildlife scenes on the hand-made paper.
