AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Batik Tulis Kain Panjang — Floral Bouquets on a Geometric Ground
Java, Indonesia
Circa 1960–1970
Hand-drawn wax-resist batik (batik tulis) on cotton.
A finely executed kain panjang (long cloth), decorated with flowing bouquets of stylised flowers, buds, and foliage arranged diagonally across the surface.
The floral motifs, rendered in deep indigo-blue and warm brown, contrast with a potehan (white or ivory-coloured) ground covered in a delicate, repeating lozenge-shaped geometric lattice.
The combination of expressive floral ornamentation and meticulously drawn geometric patterns creates a harmonious composition, reflecting the craftsmanship and decorative traditions of Javanese hand-drawn batik.
Our collection features authentic art objects, collectibles and from Indonesia and other Asian countries, including China, Japan, Myanmar (Burma), and Thailand. These pieces come from our family’s private collection, including treasures inherited through generations.
We are now downsizing and offering these cherished objects to new owners who will appreciate them. We are private collectors, not antique dealers, and will gladly share as much information as we can about each piece and its history.
