Abstract

Weaving skills represent a form of local wisdom that reflects the creativity of the Malay community in Riau. The craft of weaving is not only aesthetically valuable but also socially and religiously significant, particularly in making ketupat casings. This study aims to reveal the cultural meaning and craftsmanship embodied in the process of weaving ketupat casings as a representation of traditional Malay handicrafts. The research employed a library research method by analyzing various sources related to Malay culture, coconut leaf weaving techniques, and the symbolism of ketupat in community traditions. The findings indicate that the skill of weaving ketupat casings preserves the values of cooperation, perseverance, and religiosity within the Malay community. Beyond its function as a food container, ketupat symbolizes purity and togetherness, especially during Eid al-Fitr celebrations. In conclusion, the art of weaving ketupat casings serves not only as a tangible cultural heritage but also as a medium of social learning that strengthens the identity and solidarity of the Malay community in Riau
