Truntum Gurdo

Truntum Gurdo motif is a classic batik motif. Gurdo comes from the word Garuda. In the eyes of the Javanese people, the garuda bird holds a highly significant place as a symbol of bravery. This pattern has a shape with two wings (lar), a body, and a tail in the center. This batik motif is also inseparable from past beliefs. Garuda is the mount of Batara Wisnu who is known as the God of the Sun. Garuda was employed as a representation of the sun and was made into Batara Wisnu’s mount. Garuda is not only viewed by the Javanese as a sign of life but also of vigor and bravery.
