Yoruba batik, traditionally known as Àdìre Alábééla (meaning "wax resist"), is a vibrant Nigerian textile technique originating from southwestern cities like Abeokuta and Osogbo. Falling under the umbrella of Adire (Yoruba resist-dyed cloths), it is distinct from starch-resist methods (Adire Eleko) because it utilizes molten wax as the primary barrier.
