New Batik Fabric with Beautiful Indigo and Light Blue Fish and Peony Pattern
New, 100% cotton and 100% hand batik, this 37"X26" beautiful batik cloth with a beautiful floral and fish pattern. The word for “fish” is very close to “affluence” or “abundance" so the fish represents prosperity and plenty in Chinese culture - very good feng shui for your home. The Chinese peony represents love, (feminine) beauty, wealth, and good fortune. The Peony symbolizes one of the four seasons -- spring, together with Lotus, Chrysanthemum, and Plum, which represent summer, fall, and winter. Often called the "King of Flowers" (sometimes the "Queen of Flowers"), it enjoys a long history of prestige in Chinese culture, from the Tang Dynasty (7th century CE) and earlier. Since 1994, the peony is China's national flower.
This batik would be beautiful just framed and hung on the wall, in a quilt, used as a tablecloth,made into pillows, or wherever your imagination brings you.
Making Batik fabric paintings is a traditional Chinese art that combines painting and dyeing. Batik fabric paintings are designed by applying beeswax to cotton cloth in creative shapes. The art of making batik fabric paintings can be traced back to the Western Han dynasty (206 BC-24 AD). Although batik is virtually extinct in eastern and middle China, it can still be found in Western China where minority tribes such as Miao and Gejia tribes keep it alive. The colors are much deeper and more beautiful in person
