The back of the sample may have some stains but it can still be used for testing.
Formerly used as a writing medium, as an alternative to papyrus, it was gradually replaced in the Middle Ages by paper. Today, it is mainly used for bookbinding, illumination and the art of calligraphy. It is used for the manufacture of percussion instruments (drums, djembes, etc.), travel items (trunks, suitcases, various luggage, etc.), the creation of medieval objects (medieval reconstruction) and the making of lampshades whose transparency diffuses a soft and warm light.
