Floral Batik Wood Jewelry Chest from Java, "Parang Flowers"

Crafted from wadang wood in the shape of a small armoire, this jewelry chest from Java is offered by Gunadi. Floral patterns and traditional parang dagger motifs are applied using the batik method, where a wax resist is painted by hand onto the exterior before colorful dyes are applied. A lower drawer offers space for larger pieces while two doors open to reveal three smaller drawers inside.
