Amate Paper Large

Large Size: 94.5"x 47"

Amate paper is an ancient back paper first produced by the Aztec and Mayan civilizations during pre-contact times. Traditionally used for ceremonial papercuts and to make codices, Amate paper became nearly extinct in the mid-1800's. Today, our Amate papers are made in San Pablito, Puebla, Mexico by third generation Otomi papermakers using the bark from the Jonote tree.

It has a unique texture and a thickness that makes it useful for book covers and other heavier applications. Weight varies slightly by each handmade sheet.

DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE PAPER, AN ADDITIONAL SHIPPING FEE OF $20 WILL BE ADDED AT CHECKOUT.
