Pure Mulberry Silk Hand Batik Tjanting Stole

Description

The stole features a vibrant, multi-colored botanical theme on a deep indigo-blue base. It showcases stylized, elongated leaves with white outlines. The leaves are filled with gradients of emerald green, golden yellow, and bright orange. The border displays a contrasting abstract pattern. It consists of concentric, swirling lines resembling tree rings or a whirlpool. The colors here are earthy browns, creams, and deep charcoal black.

The crisp, detailed white lines throughout the patterns indicate precision work done with a fine-spouted tjanting tool to apply hot wax before dyeing. Subdued crackle lines appear in the dyed areas, a signature characteristic of authentic batik where dye penetrates tiny fractures in the cooled wax. The material has the soft, fluid drape and subtle sheen typical of high-quality mulberry silk, allowing the rich dyes to saturate the fabric evenly.
