The four corners of the geometrical kawung motif borrows its significance from the four noble truths of Buddhism, having roots in the heritage from Javanese empires of earlier centuries. In the context of today, the kawung is an iconic symbol for balance and harmony — blessing these qualities in the wearer’s life.
This motif, known as ceplok is a variation of the kawung, combining more patterns to elevate the aesthetic value of the batik.
