Gendongan Phoenix

Batik gendongan, traditionally used for carrying infants or light items, serves both a practical purpose and is longer compared to regular batik, with its design oriented vertically to suit its function. This batik, featuring phoenix and lereng motifs adorned with floral details, holds profound cultural and symbolic significance. The phoenix, a legendary bird, symbolizes renewal, resilience, and eternal love, making it a fitting representation of a mother’s care and protection when carrying her child. The lereng motif, characterized by diagonal patterns, reflects stability and balance in navigating life’s challenges. Floral accents add a touch of elegance, symbolizing growth, beauty, and a nurturing spirit.
