The general public often assume that Batik in West Java, is derived from Javanese Culture (Central Java). This is not entirely true. because according to Siksa Kanda’ng Karesian Sarga XVII dan XVIII Codex, said that there are all kinds of fabric (ornamental motif), such as:
kembang mu(n)cang, gagang senggang, sameleg, seumat sahurun, anyam cayut, sigeji, pasi,kalangkang ayakan, poleng re(ng)ganis, jayanti, cecempaan, paparanakan, mangin riris, silih ganti, bebernatan, papakanan, surat awi, parigi nyengsoh, gaganjar, lusian besar, kampuh jaya(n)ti, hujan riris, boeh alus, ragen panganten. Tentang segala macam kain, tanyalah pangeuyeuk (ahli tekstil). Begitulah menurut naskah SSK (1440 Saka = 1518 M).
From motives mentioned, most are not recognized anymore, or has been renamed. So it's hard to be traced back.
