Creating batik is a very time consuming craft so in 19th century the cap. (copper stamp - pronounced chop) was developed. This invention enabled a higher volume of batik production
Men usually used the cap

13. Batik designs
There is two main kind of batik designs: geometric and free form.
Kawung is a very old design consisting of intersecting circles, known in Java
Ceplok is a general name for a whole series of geometric designs based on squares, rhombs, circles, stars, etc. Although fundamentally geometric, ceplok can also represent abstractions and stylisation of flowers, buds, seeds and even animals.
                              Parang was once used exclusively by the royal courts of Central Java.
The Hindus introduced the sacred bird - Garuda, the sacred flower - lotus, the dragon - Naga and the tree of life. Islam, since it forbids the depiction of humans or animals, brought stylized and modified ornaments as symbols, i.e., flowers and geometric designs.

16. Dyes
Traditional colours for Central Javanese batik were made from natural ingredients and consisted primarily of beige, blue, brown and black.
The oldest colour used in traditional batik was blue. The colour was from the leaves of the Indigo plant.
In traditional batik, the second colour applied was a brown colour called soga. The colour could range from light yellow to a dark brown. The dye came from the bark of the Soga tree.
Another colour that was traditionally used was a dark red colour called mengkuda. This dye was created from the leaves of the Morinda Citrifolia.
Men usually did the dyeing process, and dances or ceremonies were performed to ensure a successful result.
