{"product_id":"african-horseman-original-batik-on-paper","title":"African Horseman — Original Batik on Paper","description":"\u003cp\u003eCommanding, iconic, and radiating with the dignity of African chiefly tradition — this original batik on paper is a striking portrait of an African horseman, his bold dark silhouette set within a large circle halo form against a blazing, hand-dyed background of hot pink, magenta, blue, and white. The central figure is a proud, upright rider mounted on a sturdy horse — both rendered in the classic batik manner with bold dark outlines and intricate hand-drawn pattern details covering their forms: the rider wears a flat-topped cap and a long flowing robe with bold oval and stripe pattern marks, a long staff or spear resting across his shoulder; the horse beneath him is a compact, powerful form with a bold X-cross diamond pattern on its chest and bold line marks across its body. Behind the rider, a large bold circle form in deep black outline frames the composition like a sun disc or shield, bisected by the diagonal line of the staff. The background is a glorious, hand-dyed field of crackled batik texture in blazing hot pink, magenta, and blue — the characteristic crackle lines of the wax-resist process creating a shimmering, energetic surface that pulses behind the dark central figure. Presented in a classic black frame with white mount. A timeless image of African chiefly power and equestrian grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal one-of-a-kind artwork — not a print or reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatik on paper — traditional wax-resist hand-dyeing technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: African horseman with staff in circle halo form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlazing palette — hot pink, magenta, blue, white \u0026amp; deep black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic batik crackle texture throughout the background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresented in black frame with white mount (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady to hang — perfect as a gift or collector's piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFramed: 20 inches (height) × 22 inches (width)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnframed: 12 inches (height) × 16 inches (width)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Artisan's Village Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56457552429222,"sku":"ART-046","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/9407\/5302\/files\/IQP_8952.jpg?v=1778447481","url":"https:\/\/shopwithavc.com\/products\/african-horseman-original-batik-on-paper","provider":"Artisan's Village Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
