The most famous of the Garis Miring (diagonal design) is the Parang. Two examples are available here above. The parang motif is also found in wood carving and also in the gamelan instruments decoration. Forty patterns of Parang are recorded, the most famous being the parang rusak.
The woman on the picture on the left,is going by bicycle to the market to sell jamu, a traditional javanese medecine made with herbs. She is wearing a sarong (long skirt) with a parang rusak pattern.
The parang are among the most visualy striking of all batik patterns. They are considered as fortunate patterns and they produce slimmimng effect on the woman or man who is wearing it.
At the origin, it was traditionally reserved to the sultan's family.
