Batiks are produced in Kenya by brushing hot liquid wax onto a piece of cotton cloth in the desired pattern. The canvas is then dipped into a dye which adheres to all of the areas that are not covered by the wax. The wax is then removed and reapplied repeated for each color used. This is a tedious time consuming endeavor that yields exceptional art. Animals, village scenes, landscapes, seascapes and abstracts compose much of the subject matter. The colors are natural and brilliant! This selection shows a typical gathering of Maasai males preparing for an important tribal event. They often stand closely together creating a colorful yet imposing force. The batik can be hung as is or framed. Please click photo for enlargement! Sold See Order button below.
