Abstract

Kurambiak is a traditional weapon originating from the Minangkabau people, used in the martial art of silek (silek) and for self-defense. The kurambiak form is a medium for creating a work of art that is unique in its type. The three kurambiak forms to be created are tiger claw, alang claw, and chicken claw, each with its own unique characteristics. The work focuses on aesthetic value, but also conveys symbolic meaning through shape and color.The creation of the work will utilize aesthetic and symbolic theories. The method of creation will go through three stages. The design stage involves the creation of a draft drawing through sketches, which will then be realized in the design. The realization stage will utilize surian and rengas wood, which will undergo several processes that will include lamination, scrolling, texturing, Shou Sugi Ban, and low-carving techniques. The finishing stage will use printing ink and be coated with melamine lacquer, clear matte.
