If it’s plant based yes, just like vellum for skin based

... parchment is most certainly in reference to hide based writing materials.

Interesting, that article suggests that the hide would not be tanned, so panel 2 would not be accurate.

Stretching and drying isn't tanning though right? Tanning would involve sitting the skins in a tanning solution I believe
