I have a tapa cloth question and I am hoping someone can assist me and provide an answer. I just bought a large tapestry, its sort of like the one pictured at the beginning of the post. How can I tell if it is real tapa cloth? I know mine is not fabric,and its got a soft feel to it and it feels almost like paper. When you look closely it looks sort of woven. The ends are all uneven and frayed which makes me think its real, but I dont know anything about tapa so I cant tell. I will post a photo when it stops raining here and I can get the tapestry out of the car, I dont want to ruin it in a downpour. Thanks in advance for any info.

Ok, here are some photos, can anyone tell me if this is a real tapa cloth? I honestly have no idea. I photo'd the back and a close up of the edge so the weave can be seen. It feels like thick paper, its soft and has a sort of waxy texture. Thanks for any info!!
