Description
Javanese batik has long used the cloth as a canvas for storytelling — scenes of rural life, nature, and human figures rendered in wax and dye with a level of detail that takes days, sometimes weeks, to complete by hand. Recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, batik’s narrative tradition draws from Hindu-Buddhist mythology, agrarian life, and the natural world, with each composition carrying its own layered meaning.
Batik 114 captures that storytelling quality in a wall art print measuring 37 x 70 inches, depicting a pastoral scene with a central figure, a buffalo, and a canopied landscape of trees and foliage rendered in gold, amber, ochre, and cream against a deep black ground. The vertical format and warm palette make it well suited to a hallway, study, or living room feature wall alongside dark-stained timber furniture and antique brass or bronze accents. Pair it with our custom framing service to bring out the depth of the black ground, and enjoy free shipping within Singapore.
