Traditional batik hand stamping and updated classic Indonesian motifs come together in this stunning shawl designed by Yuni Kristina. The truntum motif is believed to have been designed by Kanjeng Ratu Kencana, the Queen of Kasutanan Surakarta. It inspired Yuni Kristina to create the star truntum, featured on this silk wrap in shades of moss and jade on an ochre background. While the traditional truntum is characterized by a flower and dot pattern, the star motif featured on this gorgeous shawl introduces a new batik shape that adds depth to the original design.

Presented as part of Melati's Collection in Bali, this wonderful silk scarf is named Singa, after an Indonesian mythological creature of protection. Against a body of laurel, a colorful floral garden is applied using the batik method, where a wax resist is stamped onto the fabric before it is submerged in colorful dye. This accessory arrives with a wood box accented with linen and suede.

For wrinkles, the artisan recommends ironing the scarf at a low temperature without water.

By Desak Nyoman Parwati, three double-layer face masks boast motifs related to meditation. The contoured trio includes a black mask with a stylized mandala, a yellow mask with a lotus blossom and omkara symbol, and a third mask in olive green with the symbol by itself. The root of all sounds, this one letter, om, is the emblem of the most high, and serves as a deeply significant and distinctly recognizable symbol for Hindu dharma.

The silk-screen print masks are all washable and reusable, and have loops to fit over the ears. In addition, the straps have an attached extension so they can also be tied comfortably around the head.
