Batik is a cloth that is traditionally made using a manual wax-resist dyeing technique.
Javanese traditional batik has notable meanings rooted to the Javanese conceptualization of the universe. Here, the mega mendung pattern represents the sky and the parang pattern represents water. Both pattern merge together to form the neck and head of a swan as a symbol of beauty of craftsmanship.
