This is a large bleached goat rawhide piece.
This goat rawhide is thin, does not have hair-on, and therefore ideal for making smaller hand drums, lamp shades, and craft projects. It is very clean and is not full of holes.
Rawhide is also referred to as parchment or vellum.
Goats are not an endangered species. The skins are a by-product of the food industry. The goats are not killed just for their skins.
