Batik is a traditional textile art in which patterns are created by applying wax to fabric—most often cotton or silk—before dyeing, so the waxed areas resist color and preserve the underlying cloth. Originating primarily in Indonesia, though practiced across parts of Africa and Asia, batik encompasses a wide range of techniques including hand-drawn canting work, stamped cap designs, and multi-stage dye processes that build intricate, layered motifs. The resulting textiles are prized for their rich colors, characteristic crackle effects, and symbolic patterns that often carry cultural or ceremonial significance.
