 The Minangkabau people also produce batik called batiak tanah liek ( clay batik ) , which use clay as dye for the fabric . The fabric is immersed in clay for more than 1 day and later designed with motifs of animal and flora . The Batik from Bengkulu , a city on west coast of Sumatra , is called Batik Besurek , which literary means " batik with letters " as they draw inspiration from Arabic calligraphy .
