Careful workmanship marks this interesting batik pattern, with flower placed over diagonal, zigzagged bands known as lengko. The "latar" (background) filled with the scaly "gringsing" and the showy leaves with other markings that make these stand out against the brown background. From Nggilingan. (Danar Hadi, 2011)
