Here we have many used caps (pronounced chop) that were used in Java in the production of Artisan Batiks. The cap is dipped into molten wax and stamped onto the cloth. The worker must align the edges of each consecutive cap creating a pattern that will run the length of the fabric. These caps are hand crafted from thin copper strips that are hand cut, shaped, and soldered into these intricate patterns. Each cap takes about 2 weeks to make. The original handle is included on the back.Know a quilter, fiber artist, collector of batiks, or stamping artist? A gift of one of these caps is sure to be a centerpiece in his or her collection. Each of these pieces is unique and a true work of art.Please remember that these were used to actually make batik fabric and there will be some signs of use adding to the character of the cap. They are, however, in very good shape.
All caps have a handle similar to the one in the second picture. The picture of the handle is just an example and not the actual one you will receive.

This is a set of 2 caps. Both measure 8.75" x 7.25"
Pattern:Head Stone
