~ Vibrant colours Traditional Amate panels hand painted ~

 MEXICO – 1960’s

Description:

4 wonderful panels, in vibrant colours depicting birds and animals.

Amate is the original paper used by the Ancient Aztec and

Mayan civilisations for writing.

 Since pre Columbian times, Amate has been made of various moraceous trees

including the fig, which is crushed and pounded into flat sheets and then dried.

These elegant papers were also used as a canvas for paintings.

The Art of painting in Amate is handed down from

generation to generation since ancient times.

The Quetzal birds posing over cactus are famous for their spectacular

feathers, and panels often feature local countryside and small animals.

These hand painted panels were purchased on one of many trips to

Mexico while my parents when living in the USA in the late 1960’s.
