This exquisite Peranakan Chinese batik sarong features a captivating design crafted with remarkable skill. The vibrant azure blue and true red carnation blossoms display a striking contrast against the caramel-colored backgrounds. Delicate details, including Chinese banji and coiled leafy tendrils, create a sense of scale and depth. The ochre blossoms create shadows while the white ones in the kepala offer a sense of light. The design intricately showcases 3-dimensional effects, especially in the graceful leaf blades. The red leaves come in two shades, deep and pale, while the greens exhibit stunning variations. Small, finely detailed multicolored butterflies add to the overall charm. The sarong boasts exceptionally pretty garlands in the borders, mirroring the main flowers and leaves. It bears the name "Tan Ping Hian Batik" with an Indonesian injunction against replication. This sarong, measuring 41 inches (104 cm) in height and 40 inches (102 cm) in width (80 inches unstitched), remains in excellent condition, with only minor imperfections—a small tear along the upper edge and faint shadows that are barely noticeable. The colors are rich and saturated, and the cotton fabric, prized for its heavier weight, is fine, smooth, and pleasantly cool to the touch, possessing a firm yet slightly crisp texture.
