Celebrate! CardPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 2502120

SKU# 2502120

A joyous card for any celebration, with swirling birds and stars. Handcrafted in Egypt from papyrus paper.

Durable, lightweight papyrus paper was the most significant writing material in the ancient world. Used first around 4000 B.C., Egyptians developed paper from the papyrus reed along the banks of the Nile. The stalk’s inner pith is cut into long strips, pounded and soaked in water. Strips are laid horizontally and vertically on top resulting in the typical crisscross pattern. They are squeezed together until all the moisture is removed and then pressed to form a single sheet.
