This cotton sarong, showcasing batik artistry, is in very good condition, measuring 71 inches x 40 inches (180 cm x 101.5 cm). It was part of a museum de-accession and still retains the hand-sewn exhibition cloth hanging tabs on the backside. Originally from the Montclair Art Museum of New Jersey, this batik was associated with the 1932 exhibition "Javanese Batiks: collection of Paul E. Vernon." Paul E. Vernon also exhibited similar textiles at the Brooklyn Museum in 1928 under a similar title. Notably, the Vernon family did not donate their entire collection to the Montclair Art Museum; in 1958, the MET acquired "Mrs. Paul E. Vernon: 13 batiks, Javanese, nineteenth century," presumably after her husband's passing. It's worth noting that this item had a nearly identical counterpart, item 2590, which has already been sold.
