Product description
Black and brown printed batik, ceremonial fabric. Peacock, flower and plant motifs. Length: 1m85cm; Width: 50cm. Can be used as a bedding set, tablecloth, upholstery fabric. Decorative, beautiful material and beautiful craftsmanship. Indonesian Batik, originally mainly produced on the island of Java, was included in 2009 by UNESCO on the representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. The word, of Javanese origin, has the same root as the word titik, which means "point". The batik color printing process uses wax (“wax reserve” or “spare coloring” process). On the fabric obtained, different tones or contrasts are juxtaposed or superimposed, forming all kinds of patterns. Indonesian Batik, a hand-dyed cotton and silk fabric, marks the lives of Indonesians from the beginning of their existence until their death: infants are carried in large batik scarves specially tied and decorated with symbols intended to bring them luck, while the deceased are draped in batik shrouds. Fabrics decorated with designs adapted to everyday life are commonly worn in professional and academic environments; for weddings, pregnant women, puppet theaters and other forms of artistic expression, specially decorated variants are created. Clothing even plays a central role in certain rituals, such as offering ceremonies where royal batik is thrown into the crater of a volcano. Batik is dyed by artisans, who take pride in drawing patterns on the fabric by tracing lines and dots with hot wax; this resists vegetable dye and other dyes, which allows the craftsman to select different colors by dipping the fabric in a dye, then removing the wax with hot water and repeating the operation with another color as many times as desired. The great diversity of motifs reflects the variety of influences, from Arabic calligraphy, European floral art, to Chinese phoenixes, including Japanese cherry blossoms and Indian or Persian peacocks. Often passed down from generation to generation within families, the art of batik is intimately linked to the cultural identity of the Indonesian people and expresses their creativity and spirituality, through the symbolic meanings of its colors and designs.
