A member of one of our "Friends" groups has inquired
     about how to take care of an 8 foot square piece of
     cloth made from the Broussonetia papyrifera.  We
     perceive this to be bark or tapa cloth, although we
     have not seen the piece, and are unfamiliar with its
     condition or appropriate care.  Can anyone out there
     offer either a brief set of suggestions about the care
     of such an item, or a lead to the proper reference so
     that we can help this individual?

     TIA

     Chris Dill
