If rawhide isn't suitable then the best contenders for this project would be fat-tanned or oil-cured leather.The problem with oil tanning is that it would make the leather soft, and more easily cut. Also, at least with modern tonnage, is that they are all quite dark, soft, and wouldn't take any kind of painted decoration, not even oil paint. So perhaps an unknown veg.tanning method existed. dunno.
