This gold-decorated wrapper called a dodot has decoration forming a border around a dark center. Batik consists of hand drawing with beeswax to create pattern by resisting dyeing, an art perfected by the Javanese. The smell of wax is one way to judge a superior piece. Rulers and nobility reserved the right to wear 12 metre long wrappers enfolded around the lower body. On the wedding day a commoner was permitted to dress as royalty and wear dodot.
