PORTION OF A JAVANESE SARONG
SARONGS
The sarong decorated with peacocks and vines is characteristic. The colors are red, blue and light yellow.
END PAPERS
The decoration of the [end papers] in this book is taken from the design of a very fine old sarong. The material is cotton. It has the quality and texture of the rarest batiks. The dyeing is vegetable indigo. Some of the units were perhaps applied with a tjap, but much of the waxing was done with single and double spouted tjantings. The ground color is a soft gray yellow.
SARONG DETAILS
The batik details shown on page [95] are all taken from old sarongs. The tjanting was used for all these patterns. They are excellent pieces of native craftsmanship.
