Meaning "blade" or "dagger," parang motifs are a traditional Indonesian design originally reserved for royalty. Promoting quality of life for its artisans, Java's Yayasan Usaha Mulia (YUM) presents this pair of cushion covers, crafted from cotton. Intricate parang motifs in crimson and ivory are added using the batik method, where a wax resist is stamped onto the fabric before it is treated with dye. Each cover opens with a zipper for inserting a cushion.
