Abstract

Art is one of the human culture products and elements that indicates a nation character and personality. Indonesia has various cultures since consisting of many tribes and ethnicities. Papua’s tradition and culture in Indonesia is not widely known, especially the mountainous area of Central Papua. The Hubula tribe creates artistic products as a means to express beauty, life experiences and the meaning of life. Tangible as well as intangible cultural heritages,such as dance, clothing, jewelry, weapons, traditional ceremonies. This paper is an initial research on the study of the function of the artibut of war costumes, focusing on the jewelry and weapons of war worn by the Baliem Valley Hubula tribe. The method used is descriptive qualitative through the stages of field surveys, data collection, data recording, literature study, studies in the field of Fine Arts and analysis of the ethnographic approach. The results of the analysis show that the attributes of the war costumes of the Hubula Lembah Baliem community in addition to having aesthetics (beauty) also have a special function. Attributes of war are made from the nature around them and have important life meanings so that their existence is still maintained today. Attributes of war function not only as a complement but become a symbol of the early history of war and can be told from generation to generation. The real evidence of the war attributes still exists and is preserved in the Honai custom of war. Attributes of war costumes are cultural heritage products of art and values contained in the war tradition that war is not to kill each other between tribes or groups, furthermore it is an effort to defend oneself.
