Vintage Indonesian Batik Tulis Cotton Art Panel - Signed PAKSI - Butterfly For Sale

Up for sale is an exceptional, authentic vintage Indonesian hand-drawn batik art textile panel dating from the late 1970s to the 1980s. This collector's piece is beautifully signed with the original "PAKSI" workshop stamp integrated into the lower right corner of the design field.The panel depicts a striking, stylized bohemian scene: an intricately detailed dotted monarch butterfly hovering above blooming violet-purple lotus blossoms and tropical flora. The artwork is set against a deeply saturated, beautifully marbled aqua/turquoise background.Unlike flat, modern machine prints, this is a true vintage Batik Tulis piece created via traditional wax-resist and hand-dyeing processes. This is evidenced by the immaculate dye penetration on the reverse side and the beautifully fine wax-crackle details throughout. Notably, this piece features a hand-inked artisan wax boundary guideline along the left edge. This unique structural mark shows its authentic origin as an original panel sliced from a continuous artisan workshop textile roll, and it doubles as a perfect alignment guide for custom framing or mounting.It is made of high-grade mid-century cotton with a robust, substantial hand. It has never been washed or used, keeping the dyes exceptionally bright, crisp, and true to their original vintage vibrancy. It has been stored carefully in a clean, smoke-free estate collection.
