Parang

Mataram court, Central Java

Unbroken diagonal blades for strength and continuity. Historically a restricted motif, worn only by the royal family.

Some families still avoid wearing parang to a wedding, since its blades are said to cut ties.

Bilah diagonal tak terputus, lambang kekuatan dan kesinambungan. Dahulu motif larangan yang hanya dikenakan keluarga keraton.
