Influenced by the aesthetics of the Far East, Parsi traders returned\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eto India, bringing with them Chinese products such as porcelain and intricately embroidered silks. The unique cultural amalgamation of the Parsis is evident in various aspects of their lifestyle. For instance, they adopted the local Gujarati language, and women traditionally wear the gara sari‚ a South Asian drape adorned with Chinese motifs‚ as testament to the community's involvement in Indo-Chinese trade. For the navjote (the ceremony through which an individual is inducted into the Zoroastrian religion), Parsi children wear a richly embroidered tunic or jhabla.

The batik is signed \" The Tiet Siet Pekalongan \" by the famed Peranakan Pekalongan-based batik-maker. This piece illustrates his characteristic use of bold colours and floral bouquets (peonies and chrysanthemums on each side, respectively), with birds and butterflies flying around them. Peonies are associated with female beauty, and chrysathemums are associated with longevity and nobility. Peranakan ladies favoured batik skirtcloths made mostly by Chinese and Eurasian batik-makers on the northern coast of Java in towns such as Cirebon, Lasem, and Pekalongan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSARONG\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJava, 1900-20\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCotton (drawn batik)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection of Peranakan Museum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e2015-02120\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis colour combination of blue and white batik sarong is known as kelengan.
