For the letter B - batik
2011 - Indonesia - Traditional Textiles
Designer: De-er
The red & black (Batik Madura Jawa Timur) stamp was from a mini-sheet issued on 6 July 2011. The brown & white (Batik Parang Garuda DI Yogyakarta) stamp was from a mini sheet issued on 30 March 2011.
Batik is a traditional textile from Indonesia and perhaps the most popular. Each time I see an intricately patterned printed fabric with an ethnic design here in the SE Asian region, right away I would think, "Ah, that's batik!"
I've been to Indonesia several times now since 2015. I've become more well-informed that batik is but one of the traditional textile design techniques. Here's an article about the different Indonesian traditional fabrics.

The batik style makes for very nice stamps.
ReplyDeletethe design on that red stamp is so beautiful! I knew Batik was related to SE Asian countries, but didn't know it had actually originated in Indonesia.
ReplyDeleteI love textiles! Is one time I've think sometimes to collect (but I can't start any new collection right now!).
ReplyDeleteTextiles would be a nice topic to collect, which I hadn't thought of before.
ReplyDeleteLove the bold colours.
That red design really catches your eye.
