This checkerboard batik angel is a delightful Indonesian addition to your holiday angel collection. Hand-painted batik on wood, in black, red, silver and natural. Decorative only. Keep out of reach of children.

Batik painting on wood, like batik on fabric, is a centuries-old dyeing technique. First the artisan hand-traces an original design on the wood. The design is then hand-painted. Next, hot wax is applied where color is not required. The material is then dyed and the wax removed, leaving only the original design. This is repeated as many times as necessary with each color representing a separate dyeing and waxing process.
