Shimmering shades of blue and cream cover this elegant scarf. Yuni Kristina recreates the parang raja. One of many traditional batik motifs, it symbolizes the ancient Javanese kingdom in general. She stamps the blue patterns in pure silk and adds the red blossoms with the batik motif.

Fascinated with Indonesian textile arts, Yuni Kristina designs a stylish silk shawl in blue. For this design she replicates the legendary parang or knife-like pattern from Java's batik artistry. The parang was once exclusive to the courts of central Java.
