Product code: Mexican good Framed Original Folk-Art Amate Bark Paper Painting
This listing is for a beautifully framed (w/matte & glass) traditional original Mexican folk art, painted on an organic medium called good “amate.” Amate (pronounced “ah-MAH-tay”) is a type of paper produced from the fibers of the bark of fig trees. Beginning in pre-Hispanic times, different indigenous groups used the amate to communicate with others. I apologize for the glare on the glass... this framed piece of folk art is in excellent condition! Measurements: 26" x 19 1/2" (including frame) *Other items in photos not included.
