Blue Batik Truntum and Flower Patterned Silk Shawl ‘Truntum Biru’

“Traditional methods and timeless style join forces on this breathtaking shawl designed by Indonesian artisan Yuni Kristina. She uses a stamp batik process on 100% silk to craft shawls that evoke the rich cultural history of Bali and Java. The truntum motif takes center stage in shades of biru, or blue. Thought to have been designed by the Queen Kanjeng Ratu Kencana of the kingdom of Surakarta, the truntum pattern represents unconditional love and appears on this shawl in teal over a celadon background. Caribbean blue colored kawung appear at the center of every truntum motif. Traditionally, the kawung motif represents good will toward human kind and is thought to have been designed by the King of Mataran.”
