Abstract

Sangihe is located at the tip of North Sulawesi, Indonesia, that borders Philippines maritime territory. Sangihe is rich with traditional culture and in the past, had its own local belief in guardian spirits. The Sundeng religion, or to be exact the Sundeng community, worshipped the spirit of nature. Their tradition and ritual that has been done in the past was influenced by European arrival and has been changed through time. The people of Sangihe also have their own original traditional textile that is called kofo fabric. The fabric was made of manila hemp, or the locals called it hote. The fabric making method itself is already extinct, mainly because of the lack of enthusiasts who want to learn the art of kofo and the uncertainty of the target market.

This research used a qualitative approach to visualize the narration of Sundeng beliefs into visual elements for textile ornaments. The expected result of this research is a set of novel motifs, based on narrations about the great three spirits of Sundeng while adhering to the aesthetics of the traditional kofo fabric. To conclude, this study’s output is a set of developed ornaments for present textile demands
