Hold your place with bright Indonesian colors batiked on a fringed leather bookmark.

Batik painting on leather, like batik on fabric, is a centuries-old dyeing technique. First the artisan traces an original design on the leather. 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.
