1297 Signed Antique Batik Tiga Negeri Textile Art from Indonesia - Shawl
Signed Antique Batik Tiga Negeri Textile Art from Indonesia - Birds
A stunning hand drawn batik made sometime in the 1930s with the workshop signature in the corner.
Tiga negeri means "Three states" and refers to the fact that the cloth was sent to three different towns for the natural dyes (indigo blue, soga brown and mengkudu red).
The workshop name was added so that it would be identified and returned to the origin safely! A real piece of textile history.
Amazing number of birds drawn very well.
Note the details in each motif. Note also that the larger motifs all have borders.
Size: 104 x 240 cms
Estimated to be from the 1930s. Unused and fresh.
Appears to be double-sided.
Gorgeous colors. Good condition.
