Central Javanese batik textile, with an addition on one of the longer sides. One third of the blue-red-white fabric is decorated with a characteristic "tumpal" (triangle) in bands, followed by floral motifs, while the remainder is filled with various "parang" (blunt knife or wave) and floral motifs in diagonal fields. Garuda motifs can be seen on the darker-coloured fabric, which was also batik and sewn on afterwards.
