Handmade Book3565/1

Handmade 28 page book of off-white amate (amatl) paper, illustrating different types of nzahki cut-out figures. Accordian style pages. The front and back covers have green ribbons running horizontally across the top and bottom, extending 4.5 - 5 cm past the edges. The front cover has 2 brown paper cut-out figures adhered to it, with handwritten title(?) in faded red ink (note: ink is mostly too faint to read, but ends with 1975?). Pages 1-7 have handwritten entries in blue ink (in Spanish); pages 8-28 each have a brown paper cut-out figure attached, with handwriting above and captions (name of figure?) below each one.
