Abstract

This study examined the axiological dimensions of Kembang Kerang woven fabric, focusing on its aesthetic, ethical, and practical values within the context of local culture. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved field observations, in-depth interviews with local weavers, and visual analysis of woven patterns. The findings revealed that the aesthetic value of Kembang Kerang lies in its intricate motifs, harmonious color combinations, and symbolic patterns that reflect cultural identity. Ethically, the weaving tradition fosters a sense of communal responsibility, intergenerational knowledge transfer, and the preservation of indigenous heritage. From a practical perspective, the fabric serves as both a cultural artifact and an economic commodity, contributing to the livelihoods of local artisans. The study concluded that the Kembang Kerang woven fabric embodies a holistic integration of beauty, moral significance, and functionality, ensuring its continued relevance in contemporary society. This integration highlights the fabric’s role not only as an artistic expression but also as a medium for cultural resilience and sustainable economic development.
