Handmade paper from Nepal is valued throughout the world for its resilience and durability. Artists treasure it for watercolour painting and calligraphy, while bookbinders admire its strength under constant use. Crafts people make distinctive cards and gift bags from it and use it to cover lampshades and lanterns. It is employed by framers to mount artwork, lending a unique look to a piece as opposed to traditional matting. The tobacco colour in the upper left corner resembles leather in its colour and texture. Sheets measure 50 X 76 cms. (20” X 30”).
