Abstract

This study identifies the uniqueness of climbing floral themes used on Terengganu batik sarongs. Digital image compilation and motif tracing on batik sarong were used to examine the floral climber characters. The relevant literature was mapped onto batik sarong motifs linked to floral elements' function and role. The examination revealed that climbing flower designs were used at the apit kain (framing border) and the tepi kain (upper and lower edge parts). Various types of tropical flowers were developed as inspiration by the batik makers and represent the batik sarong Terengganu identity.
