Batik Panel c. 20th century

This 20th-century Batik Panel, created by an anonymous artist, is a striking example of the intricate art of wax-resist dyeing. The panel showcases a central diamond-shaped motif outlined in red against a deep indigo background. The diamond is further embellished with a delicate white pattern within its borders, creating a captivating visual contrast. The panel is surrounded by a narrow red border with a repeated floral motif, showcasing the artist's mastery of detail and composition. This beautiful piece of textile art is a testament to the rich tradition of Batik, which has been practiced for centuries in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia.
