Character Values in The Traditional Binding of Tengkolok: Preserving Local Heritage

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The tengkolok, a crucial part of ceremonial attire in palace events, is tied by skilled individuals known as tengkolok binders, who pass down their knowledge through generations. In the Sultanate of Perak, only three tengkolok designs remain in use: Ayam Patah Papak, Helang Menyusur Angin, and Getang Pekasam. This study explores the character values in Perak's tengkolok tying tradition using descriptive qualitative methods, gathering data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The process involves four main steps: fabric preparation, basic folding, knot tying, and final composition. The study identifies the values of Obedience and Loyalty, Politeness and Morality, Artistic Refinement and Skill, and Cultural Identity, emphasizing the importance of nurturing these values in the younger generation to preserve this heritage art.
