Batik Cotton Sarong Fabric Handmade Indonesian Batik Kain Tulis from order Pekalongan Indonesia Batik Hand Drawn

A beautiful, hand made Batik from Pekalongan. Tulis is the Indonesian word used to describe a batik that is totally handmade by "kanting" (pouring) the wax onto the material. It is not made by stamp or by mechanically printing onto the material. This is the traditional and most labour intensive way of making a batik.

Pekalongan is a famous batik centre on the north coast of Java where the Chinese first introduced synthetic dyes and floral motifs. This batik has a black background with a floral and pheasant pattern in green, pale yellow, mauve and brown. It is in very good condition order on soft cotton.

A Kain is a piece of material about 2 or a bit more metres in length. This one is 105cm high by 232cm long.

A superb example of Indonesian batik.
