[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 67502, member: 201"]I'm not positive, but I do think the paper is likely mulberry paper, made from the bark of the mulberry tree. Thailand is a major source for the paper. The closeup with the light behind does show some parallel lines like you'd see in laid paper, but to my eye, doesn't look quite right for that. The mulberry paper I have is relatively thick, and easy to shape, especially when damp. It would lend itself to the embossing on your piece.[/QUOTE]
