{"product_id":"african-market-women-with-chickens-original-batik-on-paper","title":"African Market Women with Chickens — Original Batik on Paper","description":"\u003cp\u003eVivid, close-up, and bursting with the energy of market day — this original batik on paper is a bold landscape-format scene of two African market women facing each other across a shared space, each cradling large live chickens in their arms, set against a dramatic backdrop of two traditional thatched huts with bold brick-pattern walls, rendered in deep black with intricate hand-drawn pattern details against a shimmering hand-dyed background of pink, magenta, purple, and blue. The two women dominate the foreground in a near-symmetrical composition — the figure on the left wears a bold concentric spiral pattern garment in deep black, her face in profile turned toward the centre with a composed expression, her arms wrapped around two large dark chickens with bold feather-texture marks; the figure on the right wears a bold vertical woodgrain-stripe pattern garment, her face also in profile turned inward, her arms cradling two more large dark chickens. Between them at the centre, a small pointed form — a hat, basket, or vessel — sits on the ground. Behind the two women, two traditional huts with bold diagonal-line thatched roofs and bold brick-pattern walls in deep black fill the upper composition, their forms framing the women like stage wings. The background is a glorious hand-dyed field of crackled batik texture in warm pink, magenta, purple, and blue — the characteristic crackle lines of the wax-resist process creating a rich, vibrant surface. Presented in a classic black frame with white mount. A joyful, characterful celebration of African market life and trade.\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: two African market women facing each other with chickens before village huts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibrant palette — pink, magenta, purple, blue \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":56457591193766,"sku":"ART-062","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/9407\/5302\/files\/IQP_8895.jpg?v=1778450087","url":"https:\/\/shopwithavc.com\/products\/african-market-women-with-chickens-original-batik-on-paper","provider":"Artisan's Village Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
