What are Indonesian Batiks?
Batiks are traditional cloths that originate from different parts of Indonesia. A craftperson creates intricate designs by tracing the cloth with wax, then uses wax-resistant dyes to add colours. Depending on the region, batik patterns may include traditional colours or vibrant ones featuring flower bouquets, phoenixes or cherry blossoms.
