notes: label: Description
content: Length of batik (wax-resist-dyed) fabric, design of alternating light and dark geometric patterned diagonal stripes, in purplish-blue, green, gold, light brown, and off white. Plain weave cotton ground. Java, Indonesia; 1900-1950. 92.25" L x 41.137" wide. Selvage width panel. Probably a block batik, with the wax printed by hand with a block, rather than drawn with a tjanting, as the pattern is so repetitive. One of three batiks with very different patterning given by the same donor, and numbered as .00A, .00B, and .00C. Donor also gave two Indonesian ikats.
