This cotton batik sarong, hand-drawn in Lasem, features a classic Javanese north coast pattern called ganggang, representing marine life with feathery black coils encircling sea creatures amidst flowers and plants in bright red, light blue, and gray-green on a cream ground. The head panel showcases birds in a flowering tree on deep cherry red, typical of Lasem batik's animated style. The red borders are asymmetrical, with rhythmic patterns of leaves and flowers on the upper border and larger white flowers and red leaves forming the lower edge. A narrow striped outer border frames the design. This batik, measuring 41 inches (104 cm) by 37 inches (94 cm) in its stitched state, extends to 74 inches (188 cm) when unstitched. It's in excellent condition, with a few small sewn repairs and barely noticeable tiny holes, and maintains clear, fresh colors. The cotton is of high quality, heavy, smooth, cool, and slightly crisp due to aging. Retaining its original stitched state, it can be unstitched to reveal the full contrast of the sarong design. This batik elegantly combines two vibrant designs, creating a beautiful contrast.
