Vintage Old Batik
47.39 $
Description
Based on the period of the owner's assignment abroad, this item is estimated to have been purchased between the 1960s and 1970s.
It is made using batik (Javanese batik), a traditional Indonesian dyeing technique, specifically the wax-resist dyeing method (a technique where patterns are drawn with wax and then dyed). This is a traditional Indonesian craft that has also been registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
There are some stains and dye bleeds inherent to hand-drawn and hand-dyed items, but this fabric clearly shows the individual steps of the crafting process, unlike mass-produced or machine-made goods.
105 x 240 cm
Purchased at a batik specialty store in Singapore.
After purchase, it was stored long-term in a paulownia wood chest. There are folding creases, the original unfinished edges, and it is cut raw. Additionally, there is a scent of moth repellent. Please be aware of this.
