This painting depicts a charming and colourful Zociac calender with predictions for the year. The scenery is so vibrant it almost comes to life. The detail is amazing, and every time you look at it you'll see a new story.This explosion of colour is hand painted on bark paper by the Nahua people of Southern Mexico. Amate bark paper is made from the shedding bark of the Amate tree (Ficus species). The bark paper has a lovely silky quality and it also has depth, and one can see the layers of bark that have been pounded down from the paper making process.Painting on bark paper is an ancient tradition in Mexico that has been part of their culture since the Aztec era. So brighten your home up with some Mexican flair! The painting looks fabulous simply framed. Truly an original gift you won't see on the streets!
