This is an extra large brightened (lightly bleached) goat rawhide.
The goat rawhide is thin, does not have hair on it, and is ideal for making smaller hand drums, lamp shades, and craft projects. Bleached rawhide is a slightly heavier weight than regular rawhide.
Rawhide is also referred to as parchment or vellum.
The goat rawhide comes rolled. Individual pieces are shipped in heavy, cardboard tubes.
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.
