Batik Cotton Sarong buying Fabric Batik Handmade Old Indonesian Textile Kain Tulis BTK198 Indonesia Batik Hand Drawn

Beautiful, genuine, hand made Batik from Java. 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.

From Central Java, most likely Yogyakarta, this one is a nice old soft cotton with a black background and brown an green floral motifs. All natural dyes and in very good condition.

A Kain is a piece of material about 2 or a bit more metres in length. This one is 102cm high by 242cm long.

A buying superb example of Indonesian batik.
