Batik Pesisir Cards (5 cards in a cover)

North coast Javanese batik - batik pesisir - is a melding of international artistic styles. A thriving trade with China, India, and the countries of the Mediterranean area, along with Dutch colonial influences, led to the intermarriage of foreigners with Indonesia’s native peoples.

Indo-Chinese, Indo-Arabians and Indo-Europeans all inhabited the north coast of Java from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century. Most of the designs found on batik pesisir are naturalistic and show a strong foreign cultural influence with various color variations.

The coastal locations of Cirebon and Indramayu also inspire their designs to be closely related to the sea. Price Rp 25.000.

Looking for gift bags? Our gift bags are not only colorful, but are constructed of recycled, high-quality paper and are assembled by a local yayasan. They’re available in two sizes at the Library and other sales outlets.

Poster

The charm of the 2006 calendar is the inspiration for a new poster, Window on Indonesia. This poster is perfect for framing or drymounting and is a wonderful representation of Indonesia.
