Word of the Day - Batik

Indonesian craft that dyes cloth using a traditional technique in which patterns are covered in wax before dying, which allows them to resist the dyeing. This process is then repeated until the complete pattern is achieved. Once the dyeing process is completed, the wax is removed.


Certain patterns could only be worn by nobility, with larger patterns indicating a higher rank.
