This sarong (tubular skirt) is decorated with peonies grouped together in a bouquet, with birds and butterflies flying around them. The buketan/bouquet motif reoccurs throughout the textile and was a design popularised by Eurasian batik maker, Eliza Van Zuylen. This sarong would have been worn with an open jacket with V-shaped lapels known as the kebaya.
