This study aims to analyze the representation of Balinese culture in the *Lontar Satua Lubak Jenggot* by examining its narrative structure, depictions of social life, use of humor as a vehicle for social criticism, and cultural significance through the lens of literary anthropology. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data consist of events, character actions, and narrative segments that reflect cultural representations within the lontar text. Data collection was conducted using reading-and-notetaking techniques alongside documentation, while data analysis involved selection, categorization, interpretation, and the drawing of conclusions. Cultural representation is manifested through household economic activities, social interactions, and the portrayal of characters based on their social and religious standing. Humor serves both to create amusement and to open a space for critical interpretation regarding the social status and behavior of the characters. This suggests that the Lontar Satua Lubak Jenggot can be re-examined critically to understand cultural representation in traditional Balinese literature and its ongoing relevance to contemporary society.
