Vintage Copper Rectangular Tumpal Batik Stamp

This copper batik stamp features the Tumpal motif, commonly used along the edges of coastal (pesisiran) batik from northern Java. Influenced by local, Dutch, and Chinese artistic traditions and defined by its triangular form, the motif carries deep symbolic meaning and is traditionally regarded as a protective element against misfortune. It also serves as a metaphor for spiritual harmony and balance between humans, nature, and the cosmos, making it a timeless motif for borders and decorative accents.
