Amate is a type of paper produced from the fibers of the bark of fig trees. Beginning in pre-Hispanic times, different indigenous groups in Mexico used the amate to communicate with others. However, now Nahua artisans paint intricate birds, colorful plants, and whimsical animals on the amate so that it can be used for decoration.
Learn to make beautiful artwork styled after this Mexican Folk Art tradition!
