Pisang Bali

In Balinese society, the bananas (in local dialect refers to “Pisan” or “pisang”) are also one of the symbols of Amartha in Wiswa Ongkara (number 3 in Balinese script). Another version indicates that Pisang Bali words are derived from the Javanese words “Pisan” (again) and “Bali” (return), which means constantly returning or repeating. Therefore such batik motif is usually given by a person to his/her lover who will travel away, in a hope that the intended person will return again.
