100% Silk Scarf Hand Painted with Balinese Batik Designs, "Love Guide"

Birds flutter their wings amidst leafy vines on this enchanting 100% silk batik scarf that Bali's Dayu Menuhari crafts. She expertly paints the sylvan scene by hand using a tool called a canting to dispense thin lines of wax onto the fabric before it is dyed in burnt sienna tones. A traditional truntum motif covers the ends of the scarf. The design, which represents revitalized love, is often found on the clothing worn by the parents of couples who wed; the pattern expresses the parents' wish that they can somehow guide the new pair and bless them with love that will grow each day of their married life.
