Add a classic Oriental touch to your home decor with this Chinese Batik 'Working girl' Wall Tapestry.
This Batik tapestry is hand-painted and use the ancient 'La Ran' technique to dye the background. Known contemporarily as the 'wax dye' technique, this ancient art form hails from the southwestern regions of China. It involves applying wax on hand-woven fabric to prevent the hand-painted pattern from absorbing the dye. As the wax cracked naturally during the dying process, beautiful blue or red lines appears on the hand-painted pattern, which are called ice lines. These ice lines are the most unique feature for the tapestries, and no two tapestries have the same ice lines and hence make each tapestry unique in its own way.

The piece is double-backed for additional strength and stability and features a loop on top for the insertion of a hanging rod.
By purchasing this batik tapestry wall hanging, you are helping perpetuate ancient traditions and providing a source of income for communities in need.

The Story Behind the Art

These beautiful tapestries are one of the traditional art pieces created by the Chinese minority known as Miao people who live in the Southwestern part of China. In this region of China there are many high mountains and historically it has been isolated, hence the Miao people have developed their own unique art and culture separate from the Chinese majority known as Han. Wax-dyed tapestry is one of the well known crafts to come from this. The patterns and methodology used in creating these tapestries has been passed down from generation to generation. Each artist adds their own unique touch to these patterns, making every tapestry different. Selling through WorldStock allows the Miao people to keep this ancient art form alive.
