Collection of
‘Tiga Negeri’ batik combined the best styles and colours from several Javanese batik-making towns. The first waxing and dyeing was usually done in a north-coast town with the second waxing and final dyeing in central Java. The combinations of towns, styles and dyes in these batiks were almost limitless. The production of ‘tiga negeri’ batik stopped at the start of World War II.
