Malaysia- Batik

This is their national cloth predominantly made out of silk, but also cotton. It is mainly from the east side of the country. It's freehand art using hot wax and dye to make these one of a kind pieces. Since the artist creates it one at a time, you're getting a one of a kind piece. I got my beautiful silk one that I'll take some pictures of once I wear it. They can be worn as a headpiece, scarf, sarong; they also make table runners.
