Vintage Indonesian Primissima Batik Sarong This is a rare piece of batik art. It is in used condition and has an amazing patina, a super soft buttery feel. It is a very fine quality 100% Primissima cotton, which is the highest quality cotton used in batik production. Because these designs are all hand drawn or stamped, there may be stray spots of dye in a few places. There is also some normal wear to these vintage fabrics. The hand painted/stamped wax resist dye process is less common and is a prized art form. Batik is made by drawing/stamping a design with hot wax on a cloth and then submerging the cloth into dye. Wax is then left on and added to, or removed and a new design may be drawn before submerging the cloth again. This process is repeated numerous times until the desired colours, hues and designs are achieved. Follow this link to watch the incredible process of creating batik: https://youtu.be/wylWYSHkzoQ Made using the batik cap (copper stamp) with some added batik tulis (hand written), in which case it would be batik kombinasi. Circa: 1940-1960. Size: 1m x 2m
