Javan Batik Heron SculpturePRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 6908440

SKU# 6908440

Big and beautiful, this batiked heron is a lovely combination of artifice and nature. Naturalistic bird hand-carved in wood is decorated with elaborate batik-pattern painting.

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.
