Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Classic Javanese batik patterns inspire this elegant silk shawl. Yuni Kristina selects the kawung, an eight-pointed rosette once reserved for the sultan, and the triangular tumpal pattern for this design. These motifs once adorned men's formal clothing during the ancient Javanese Kingdom and symbolize dignity, self-respect and self-esteem. Each motif is created by hand, as evidenced by the occasional pencil mark or slight color variations.

Yuni Kristina says,
"My mother is my inspiration. She and I still design together, especially the floral and bird motifs that are typical in Pekalongan batik.""
