Abstract

Banyuwangi is a regency at the eastern tip of the island of Java which has wealth, natural beauty and has very strong cultural roots. In Banyuwangi there is a snake statue with the head of gatotkaca which is very iconic. The shape of this statue is neck to bottom shaped snake, and the neck up is the head of Gatotkaca. The location of this statue is scattered in almost all Banyuwangi districts, this statue is easy to find in local government offices, subdistricts, villages, schools, village entrances, and so on. This statue was popular in 2 eras. First during the era of the Blambangan kingdom which was led by Prabu Tawangalun (1655-1659), and the second was during the new order during the era of Regent Joko Supaat Slamet (1966-1978). This research was conducted by using field observation and literature study methods. This statue was studied using the Susanne K. Langer Symbol theory approach. In the investigations conducted, it was found that this statue was not only a visual form, but a living form of its philosophical meaning, legitimacy, identity and self-image. This statue of a snake with the head of Gatotkaca is not only an objective reality, but a subjective reality and its form is a living form.
