Many places in the world pattern textiles and by applying wax to protect certain areas from dye. During the dye process the waxed areas resist the dye and when the wax is removed a pattern emerges. Both the technique and the textiles produced are called batik. The word batik may derive from Javanese. Nowhere in the world is this method of patterning textiles as highly refined as in Indonesia.
