Shell Wall Puzzle Batik. The detail and intricacy of this design will astonish you. Batik is the art of decorating cloth or wood using wax and dye. This art form has been practiced by artisans for centuries. Selected areas of the wood were blocked out by brushing or drawing hot wax over them. The wood is then dyed. The parts covered in wax resist the dye and the original color remains. This process of waxing and dying is then repeated, creating an elaborate and colorful design. At 31.25x15x1.5, the piece will have quite an impact in your home. Was $84.00, Now on SALE for $39.00!!!
