Batik is a very specific technique of dyeing fabric and creating very beautiful and detailed patterns. Wax is applied on an area where the first colour is not supposed to stay. The fabric is then boiled, dried, ironed and ready for a second run with wax. This time it is applied in different spots, so the next colour can be absorbed by the fabric. The process of making a batik fabric is long and requires a lot of skill and patience. Maybe that's why UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
