Abstract

Batik’s recognition as a world heritage by UNESCO has given a positive impetus to the batik industry. The encouragement, however, has yet to reach the batik canting cap (stamp) home industry, which is a supporting sector of stamped batik. Knowledge and expertise in making canting stamps are difficult to transfer to the next generation because the economic value is not promising. The raw material of the canting stamp, namely copper metal, has unique characteristics. In terms of visual appearance, the canting stamp has an aesthetic value for the interior. An experimental method is used in the research to produce interior material prototypes that are suitable for market conditions. The making of an interior elements model as a prototype reference uses computer programs and tools for design, which are known as computer-aided design (CAD) to reduce costs because it can provide a photorealistic visualization. The outcome is expected to encourage the growth of the canting stamp batik home industry, hence its economic value will increase. The ultimate goal is to increase employment by pushing canting stamp batik quantity production due to the demand for interior materials then will open up opportunities to regenerate the skills to make canting stamp batik.

Abstract

The transformation of visual symbols in contexts of religious transition is a complex phenomenon of cultural communication. This article analyzes the symbolic negotiation of Surya Majapahit, the eight-pointed solar emblem of the Majapahit Empire, as a visual communication medium that persisted across the shift from Hindu-Buddhist to Islamic cosmology in Java. Existing scholarship has largely overlooked how this symbol was actively renegotiated rather than passively inherited. Using a qualitative iconological method integrated with translocality theory, data were collected through artifact observation at temples, tombs, and the Great Mosque of Demak; semi-structured interviews with site custodians and cultural practitioners; and document analysis. The findings reveal a three-phase transformation: (1) full cosmological icon, (2) figurative reduction, and (3) geometric abstraction. The radial core was strategically retained as the communicative core, while Hindu-Buddhist figurative content was gradually eliminated to adapt to the aniconic Islamic visual regime. This symbol, therefore, functioned as a translocal node that actively produced a new Javanese-Islamic locality. The study contributes to intercultural visual communication by proposing “semiotic thinning” as a mechanism of symbolic continuity amid religious change. Limitations and recommendations for heritage interpretation and future research are outlined.
