Detail of a rare Javanese Batik in the American Museum of Natural History^ New York 36 FIRST LESSONS IN BATIK CHAPTER IV PROCESSES OF BATIK DYEING THE intricacy of the design is the determining factor in the numberof processes necessary for any given piece of Batik. The morecolors desired, the more often will the fabric have to be immersedin the dye bath.
