Fish Batik Wood Hand Mirror

Hand carved from Albesia wood and each intricately hand batiked in Central Java, these hand held mirrors shaped like fishes with long tails, are beautifully finished front and back. Growing out of the traditional batik fabric industry, batik wood is a natural evolution of batik on fabric with its rich history and artistry. Using the same tools and techniques, batik wood employs layers of wax applied with the traditional canting (chanting) tool in detailed replicating classic Javanese motifs. A time-consuming process is required to lay out each pattern in successive layers of wax and dye, and then boiled to remove the wax.
