Parchment

Parchment was a high-quality writing surface made from animal hide, capable of holding ink, paint, and other pigments.
==Description==
Parchment was similar to other writing materials like vellum, paper, and papyrus, and was relatively commonplace. It was made of animal hide, often goat or sheepskin.
==Availability==
