Abstract

This study aims to explore and document the mathematical concepts (ethnomathematics) contained in the Pahudu Andung motif (human motif) on the Pahikung woven cloth typical of Melolo, East Sumba. Through an ethnographic approach, this study explores the cultural, historical, and technical dimensions of the motif's creation, which have been passed down through generations. Data were collected through participatory observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with three expert weavers (tenabi) in the Umalulu region. The results show that the Pahudu Andung motif is not merely a decorative element, but rather a visual representation rich in the geometric concepts of transformation and plane shapes. Ethnomathematic analysis identified the application of the principle of bilateral symmetry (reflection) in the body structure of the motif, translation in the repetition of the "X" pattern, and dilation (scale) in the rhombus shape. In addition, the use of basic geometric shapes such as a trapezoid as a foundation, a rectangle on the trunk, and a rhombus on the head with precise acute-angled details was found. This study concludes that local weavers have intuitively applied complex geometric concepts in preserving the philosophical values ??of victory and strength through woven art.
