Hand drawn wax resist on cotton, natural dyes. The two end fields (tumpals) are coloured differently, but have the same patterns. The ‘purple’ colour on one end is achieved by over dyeing a red base with blue. This is a stunning Lasem cloth in perfect condition. The pattern features all flying, walking and creeping creatures in nature and has cosmological overtones.
