Canting
Note: The following text is taken from a 19th-century collection catalog and, in its language and perspective, partially reflects colonial thought patterns. We present the text in its original version to make the collection's history transparent and promote a critical examination of the colonial legacy. Certain terms and formulations may be perceived as problematic today. A 2009 research project concluded that most descriptions are factually correct and still usable; only a few details were found to be inaccurate or incorrect. The results of this project were published in the following collection catalog: khm-wmw-tm-library.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1457155265"644 - 647. Batik toolsFour of the little, deep copper "spoons" (cantings) which are indispensable for batiking. Two of them have simple, fine spouts, two have fine double spouts allowing double stripes to be made; these cantings are made everywhere by the natives themselves."Translation of: Czurda, F. A. J.
