Description | Fabrics consisting of a patchwork design of small, geometric areas filled with different patterns probably derive from priests' garments actually made from many pieces of cloth. The pattern is thus associated with vows of poverty or special properties. Produced in many Javanese centers, batik fabrics with this patchwork pattern are known as tambals. Textiles in the style from the north coast are purely decorative, while those from central Javanese courts were thought to possess magical or talismanic functions. Batik Textiles of Java, April 21-September 17, 2017 [A work made of cotton, plain weave; hand-drawn wax resist dyed (batik tulis).] |
