Abstract

This paper aims to describe the various types of braid in Padang Pariaman in terms of the artificial value and implicit knowledge contained in the braid. The objective to be achieved in this paper is to increase community knowledge on the types of braid in Padang Pariaman Regency and the values contained. The method used is ethnographic which results in the form of verbal descriptions from the informants who master and understand something through the process of acculturation which is not just knowing but also living. Besides, they are still classified as involved in the activities being studied. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, field notes, interviews and documentation. The results reveal that the braid in Padang Pariaman District had quite high artificial values. The braids which have philosophical value, cultural value and economic value are pandanus mats braid, bamboo braid and braid from coconut leaves while braids which have economic value without historical value are braid from ribbon, curtain and braid from stick.
