amate paper (bark paper (paper by composition), <paper by composition or origin>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Paper made in Mexico and Central America from bast fibers of amate Ficus trees, such as Ficus petolaris; also reportedly made from majirey cactus fibers (Sahgum 1963) or naturalized mulberry trees fibers (Lenz 1961). The fibers are scraped from inside the bark of the tree, boiled, then beaten and felted into sheets. The paper was often polished with stones to produce a smooth surface.
