Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 非經紡織、而是由擊打某些樹與灌木的內樹皮直至薄而軟所製成的布料。樹皮布上可繪畫、壓印標記或繡花;此外,樹皮布雖較脆弱,沾濕後更為脆弱,亦可裁剪用為拼布材料。幾乎整個非洲沙哈拉沙漠以南地區都曾使用樹皮布,十六世紀中期賴比瑞亞已有使用樹皮布的記載;如今,在迦納和奈及利亞尚可找到樹皮布。 
Dutch ..... Een non-woven textiel dat wordt gemaakt door het pletten van de binnenste schors van bepaalde bomen en struiken tot deze fijn en zacht is. Bastdoek kan worden beschilderd, bedrukt, geborduurd of geknipt en genaaid als patchwork. Het is wel vrij kwetsbaar, vooral als het nat is. Ooit werd het in vrijwel geheel Afrika ten zuiden van de Sahara gebruikt. De vroegste vermelding was in het midden van de 16de eeuw in Liberia, tegenwoordig komt het voor in Ghana en Nigeria. 
Spanish ..... Textil no tejido fabricado al golpear la corteza interna de algunos árboles y arbustos hasta que se vuelve fina y suave. Los paños de corteza pueden ser pintados, estampados, bordados o cortados y cosidos como un patchwork a pesar de ser relativamente frágiles, en especial cuando están húmedos. Fue utilizado durante un período en toda el Africa subsahariana, mencionándose desde mediados del siglo XVI en Liberia. Se encuentra actualmente en Ghana y Nigeria.
