Handmade Bark Paper Wall Art – Otomí Medallion Panel – Mexican Folk Art 47.2 x15.7 in " – Boho Wall Decor (Unframed)

Craft Amate® — Otomí Medallion: Handmade Bark Paper Wall Art Panoramic Panel 47" x 15" (120 x 40 cm) — Natural White Amate — Unframed)©️ The design: A circular medallion sits at the center — hand-woven in a spiral, with a radiating "sun" core — opening outward through symmetrical bands of cut lace, straight-line texture, and hand-carved relief. Each band was made with a different technique: fine perforation, open-weave fiber, and sculpted bark relief. The piece shifts character with the light: up close, it reveals an almost textile-like complexity; from a distance, it reads as one clean, geometric composition. Why this piece stands apart: This isn't painted amate — it's cut and woven into being. The dark backing you see behind the perforated sections isn't an afterthought — it's a deliberate design choice, meant to let light pass through the cutwork so the pattern breathes against the wall. That takes far more time than a piece decorated with paint alone, and it shows in the level of detail packed into the central medallion, where at least four distinct textures coexist in a space barely 8 inches across. Origin and technique: Made from Jonote tree bark, transformed into amate paper by Otomí artisans in San Pablito, Puebla — a tradition over a thousand years old, legally protected since 2007. Each piece represents weeks of manual labor: harvesting and preparing the fiber, cutting, weaving, and relief work, all done without molds or machines. ©️ For your space: With its panoramic format and neutral palette (bone white against a dark ground), this piece works as a focal point without competing with the rest of your décor. Ideal above a console table, a long dining table, or as a headboard piece. It fits just as naturally into boho, Mediterranean, rustic-modern, or minimalist interiors — as shown in our styled photos with different frame options (light oak, medium oak, walnut).
