Hello Casey,

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be batik work which is an Indonesian technique of fabric dyeing, dating to the mid 20th century. The process appears to be detailed in the document accompanying the work. The work depicts and abstract composition in shades of blues and whites. The work is inscribed to the lower corner. Unfortunately, we are unable to decipher the inscription but it is most likely the name of an artisan. Leland House is an artisan house and distributor of art for trade or export based in Taiwan. The company has a revolving door of artists and all are regional apprentices or unknown street artists. The attribution to a professor from the Shih Hsih University, may be a likely attribute but identifying a specific person working in the university and Leland workshop would take deep research and cross referencing. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of other comparable batik works distributed by Leland House. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
