A large cotton batik with a rectangular central field depicting five symmetrically positioned fully laden cargo ships, each hull decorated with horizontal multicoloured patterns. They float on a rich creamy beige ground and are surrounded by various flora and fauna.

Three of the ships are surrounded by groups of men wearing blue or green tunics and holding festival banners or ceremonial weapons. Surrounding the figures are multicoloured stylised floral sprays as well as birds with magnificent plumage, trees with trefoil and elongated leaves and exposed roots, wild stags and two stylised squid. Further down, a man on a horse holding a whip faces to the right, as if in charge of the five men lined up beneath the central ship. A wild horse with a blue body decorated with floral designs starts to rear up, its red coloured head held high. A single crab can be spotted to the left of the main field, and below the bottom two ships are shoals of fish framing a single stag to the centre. A continuous blue wave flows from left to right to the bottom of the field.

Meandering floral borders both thick and thin surround the central design and to each side of the Batik, traditional triangular cartouches in alternating colours of blue, beige and green and filled with stylised floral sprays decorate the rich red ground to the left and black ground to the right, both filled with beige floral motifs.
