Wood batik catchall trays (Pair), "Java Floral"
Diana Dewi presents a spectacular pair of trays or catchalls that showcase the legendary beauty of Javanese batik. Performed by hand with canting techniques on ganitri wood, the red and cream florid motifs on the larger tray are known as kirno monda ("best one"), and are usually reserved for home décor. A grand hibiscus flower centers the other tray along with the lung-lungan or vine motif, often used as a starting point to other batik motifs.
Batik techniques are applied by hand which may result in slight differences in color hues and motif placement.

"Such a Super Accessory for the Home"





Love this little box. The smaller size makes it work in so many places as an excellent accessory piece while the uniqueness of the artwork makes it a statement piece. The quality is excellent and the hand painting is beautifully done. I will be keeping an eye on this artist to see what other gems show up.
