Scenes from “Snow White” are depicted across the badan (the main field of the batik design). European fairy tales became a popular subject for batik-makers in Pekalongan by the end of the 19th century. The signature at the top of the kepala (a panel in a different pattern or colour from the badan) reveals that it was made in a workshop owned by M. P. Soediro.
