Abstract

The tittle of this research is Weaving Ulos Silalahi as a Cultural Attribute in Silahisabungan District, Dairi Regency. The objective of this study is to investigate the process involved in creating Ulos Silalahi Woven fabric and its utilization as a cultural symbol in traditional ceremonies within the Silahisabungan District. The present study employs ethnographic research methods. The findings indicated that the production of Ulos Silalahi Woven Fabrics commenced with the Mangunggas, which involves the bending of threads. Subsequently, the Manorha process is undertaken to string the threads into a humpalan. Finally, the Matibobok process is employed to create intricate designs on the fabric. The term "manirat" refers to the traditional process of fabric production, namely the creation of cloth and tassels. The utilization of Ulos Silalahi weaved cloth persists in contemporary times, particularly during traditional gatherings within Silalahi I Village. Ulos Silalahi, a type of woven fabric, holds significant cultural value among the Batak community, particularly among the descendants of the Silalahi clan residing in the Silahisabungan sub-district. This fabric is utilized throughout many occasions, both celebratory and mournful in nature.
