A superb silk batik shoulder textile (Selendang) from Java. It showcases the quintessential lokcan bird motif. The lokcan, resembling the Chinese phoenix with its 3 long tails is surrounded by various motifs like carnations, passion fruit, pods, flowers, leaves, and butterflies creating a striking design. Finished with a fringe like border. The textile is from the period of 1900-1930. It is in mint condition with very few imperfections. Museum like quality. No holes, damage, or repairs of any kind. Measurements are 48 cm(width) x 267 cm(length) or 19 in x 105 in. A strikingly beautiful textile. Purchased this textile in Bali Indonesia approximately 25 years ago on one of my numerous trips to Bali. The silk is very soft to the touch. Makes a beautiful wall hanging. Bamboo hanger not included. Difficult to find a textile in such fine condition that is approximately 100 years old.
