This batik was created starting with a black piece of fabric and after drawing on lines of wax from the tjanting and brush painted areas to save the black. It went through discharge dyeing and many more dyebaths to achieve the soft earth tones.

This batik shows an open landscape with patterns from the tjanting and two crows, friends in the wide open view.
