TWO Indonesian Art Wayang Batik Hindu Artworks
TWO Indonesian Art Wayang Batik Tulis
The first is Asset 1763: It depicts a scene from the Mahabharat in which the Pandavas and Kauravas engage in a devastating war. The fight is for righteousness and has lessons in duty, alliances and righteous living. This artwork depicts the journey of the Punakawan to Mount Meru.
The second is Asset 1762: The Nine Punakawan were sent to earth by Batara Guru (Shiva/Allah) to earth. These Punakawan take on ugly forms as a way to hide their celestial identities. This artwork depicts a scene of some argument amongst them, after which they split into two groups, one assisting Pandavaa and the other assisting Kauravas.
The depiction of the clouds (mega mendung) is typical of the batiks of Cirebon in Java, Indonesia.
Note the detailed borders in this batik!
