Indonesia 2012 - Batik Garutan

Issued by Pos Indonesia for the INDONESIA 2012 World Stamp Championship, this companion souvenir sheet celebrates traditional Batik Garutan textiles with six Rp 5.000 stamps alongside a distinct Rp 20.000 stamp featuring the Rereng Siki Bonteng pattern. Printed by Cartor Security Printing, what makes this sheet stand out is its silk-cloth flocking, giving the stamps a realistic, soft textile texture that mimics actual woven fabric. This innovative production technique transforms traditional Indonesian textile heritage into a unique, tactile display piece for collectors.
