Batik is usually made with wax that is useful to prevent color from absorbing into the fabric fibers. In the era of the Majapahit kingdom, Indonesian people were already familiar with batik. The spread of batik in Indonesia occurred in the late 18th century or early 19th century. At first, batik was used only by the Royals and also the workers who work inside the Kingdom (Keraton). Knowing the workers live outside the Keraton, so many of them brought batik outside the Keraton creates people began to imitate batik reflecting a strong source of identity for Indonesians crossing religious, racial and cultural boundaries.
