Kain Batik Prada

This skirt cloth is made of fine cotton with a design of mythical creatures, birds, abstract and floral motifs in indigo against a white ground covered with tiny blue dots. The blue designs are outlined with gold leaf attached by glue-work; edging the design with a sticky substance and then pressing on gold leaf. The skirtcloth, while made in Java would have been worn by a Balinese woman for temple festivals.
