- Abstract
The Raja’s letter in Malay is a proof of the high writing culture which is accompanied by ornamentation, etiquette and high artistic standards throughout the archipelago. Very few people know about the relics of this beautiful archipelago king’s letter, even where the original manuscript is stored, rarely know about it. For that reason, in an effort to raise awareness of our love for the height of our own culture, the authors raised the golden letter as material and focus of research. The research method used is a Qualitative Approach, with Analytical Descriptive Method in order to obtain a systematic picture, valid conclusions, and classified according to certain criteria and patterns. From the results of the study, the writer can conclude, the letter ornaments used are floral, leaf and geometric patterns. Arabesk patterns or continuous leaf motifs are almost the same as those found in the decoration of the Koran, Muslim architecture, and Indonesian handicrafts. In addition to the Indonesian style, this cannot be separated from the influence of Islamic culture in the other Muslim world, thus enriching the diversity of Islamic art. Plain paper media originated from Europe and China, paper decorated with gold and prada originated from India and Europe. Furthermore, the silver stamp was influenced by the era of the Prophet, the cover of silk cloth with the influence of India / Persia, the ornaments used were influences from Ottoman-Turkish, Persian, European, and native patterns themselves, the writing of addresses on paper that originated from Malay patterns themselves.
