Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Inspired from an ancient palace painting, this handsome portrait by Teerapat Suwan is achieved in cool batik. Signed by the artist, it is the focal point of an exceptional shoulder bag. To create the portrait, Suwan stretches soft cotton to a frame. The design is painted with a mixture of hot wax and resin, and the piece goes into the dye pot.

Suwan uses sodium bicarbonate to achieve an antique effect. 100% cotton. Hand wash in warm water with mild detergent. Artisan Info: "My name is Teerapat Suwan, but you can call me Tom as well.
