Review

This study, "Makna Motif Pada Produk UMKM Sulaman Indah Mayang Di Desa Padang Birik-Birik Kecamatan Pariaman Utara Kota Pariaman," presents a focused investigation into the symbolic meanings and placement of embroidery motifs produced by the Sulaman Indah Mayang UMKM. The research effectively highlights the rich cultural significance embedded within traditional Minangkabau embroidery, extending beyond mere aesthetics to encompass profound social values, philosophical tenets, and expressions of local culture. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the paper sets out to meticulously uncover the narrative behind these artisanal products, contributing valuable insights to the fields of cultural studies, traditional crafts, and local economic development. A significant strength of this research lies in its rigorous qualitative approach, utilizing direct observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation to delve into the intricate symbolism. The findings reveal that motifs such as *bungo satangkai*, *kaluak paku*, *bungo pondiang*, and *burung merak* are not arbitrary designs but potent symbols embodying concepts like elegance, resilience, hope, and responsibility, deeply rooted in Minangkabau customary law. Furthermore, the study meticulously describes how motif placement is intentionally aligned with bodily function and cultural philosophy, with primary motifs strategically located on the chest or thigh. The emphasis on manual craftsmanship using gold and contrasting threads underscores the artisans' skill, diligence, and the harmonious integration of traditional values with contemporary innovation. This research makes a commendable contribution by documenting and interpreting the cultural heritage embedded in the Sulaman Indah Mayang products. The findings are crucial for the preservation and appreciation of Minangkabau traditional arts, offering a deeper understanding to both local communities and external audiences. Beyond its academic merit, the study implicitly supports local micro, small, and medium enterprises (UMKM) by elucidating the cultural value that enhances their products' market appeal and distinctiveness. Future research could potentially explore the pedagogical aspects of motif transmission, the economic impact of preserving these meanings on UMKM sustainability, or a comparative analysis with embroidery traditions from other regions to further contextualize these unique findings. Overall, this paper provides a well-executed and insightful exploration into a vital aspect of Indonesian cultural craftsmanship.
