Abstract

Yogyakarta region. Kawung is rich of historical and interpretative works. It is believed to result
in a firm bell\ief and spiritual power for the people. While it equally presents aesthetic values
harmonious to the life of of the Javanese people. This motif is frequently combined with other
object taken from the relevant actual narration. With its visually aesthetic, dynamic, and elegant
appearance, kawung motif has been strategically combined with other artifact objects either as
the clothes or artworks. Among the various cultural artifacts, Yogyakarta has kind of traditional
horse cart. Currently, classic horse carts are kept in the Sultan Palace of Yogyakarta Hadiningrat.
In rural villages , horse carts are used to transport people and goods. Royal horse cart have their
own unique names, shape, and values and they are treated as the respected heirlooms by the
people. The object of traditional transportation can be applied in combination with the kawung
motif to result in new motif variants. Therefore, kawung motif can be reserved over generations
and relevant to respond the growing public need with its up to date aesthetic alternatives. To
ensure the sustainable visualization of newly applied motif, we have to encourage batik artisan in
order that they get familiar with and appreciate to motif of kawung for their earning. With the
aplication of the traditional transportation vehicles, it is expected that local culture can be
reserved along with the development of kawung motif.
