The raw material for papyrus (lat. cyperus papyrus – papyrus bush) originates from a plant in North Africa, the Cyprus grass (Cyperus). Cyprus grass grows up to 4 meters tall and is cultivated in the Nile delta.
The complicated manufacturing method of papyrus paper continues to be a hands-only process as it was in the past.
Each sheet is unique because they are all individually handmade. In the Old Roman times, ancient people used either soot or iron galust to write on the papyrus.
