1775 Vintage Batik Bangbiron Textile Shawl

Vintage Batik Textile

A fine batik with striking end panels

This Batik likely belongs to the Bangbiron grouping because of the use of only red & blue.

The presence of the large birds against a sparse background 'makes' the textile 

Has a few tiny holes and stains

Textile has been stitched to make it into a tube

Feels like silk but may be cotton.

192 x 104 cm

Estimated to be from the 1960s

This item has spent a lifetime being used for the purpose of its creation with the original artist/user. Signs of this life lived heartily may be present on the piece in the form of stains, thread loss, loose threads, holes, tears, color run and other imperfections. Therefore the condition must be assumed to be “not” perfect. More photos of such imperfections will be provided on request.
