This piece is known as batik bunga rampai (potpourri). Bunga rampai is usually made with finely sliced pandan leaves mixed with jasmine, rose petals and other small fragranced flowers and a spray of rose water. Traditionally placed in coned sirih (betel nut) leaves, they are given out to guests during wedding and other celebrations.
This batik is known as bunga rampai probably due to its small and sparsely placed leaves and flowers, with the plain background, just like potpourri.
