Description
This authentic folding fan features a textile leaf decorated with the classic Buketan (Bouquet) motif, a style of Indonesian batik originating from the coastal region of Pekalongan, Java. The hand-dyed fabric showcases intricate flower arrangements and stylized bird motifs in a striking palette of Deep Terracotta red and cream. The framework is constructed from natural, hand-shaved bamboo ribs held together by a sturdy metal rivet. This piece reflects the Pesisiran (coastal) batik tradition, blending traditional wax-resist techniques with refined floral aesthetics.
