Description: Three hand-carved Batik Tjap Indonesian stamps are used for stamping cloth by applying wax residue to the design. Once the fabric is dyed, it will expose the stamp in the original color of the cloth. Each stamp features intricate imagery, such as three geometrically shaped elephants walking in a line, a procession with a decorated elephant and figures holding decorative items and playing instruments, and twelve boxes filled with images of fish, lions, scorpions, rams, and more. The stamps have a long wood handle on the top.
