- Abstract
The meaning of the symbol, which depicts guidance and hope for life for the residents and society, is patterned in the decorations found in the supporting ornaments of the Pangeran’s house in the Baluwarti neighborhood. This study was conducted to find the results of the interpretation of the ornaments contained in the decorative motifs in the Prince's house. The method used in this study is qualitative with stages of description, formal analysis, and interpretation. The samples used for comparison are princely houses such as Dalem Sasonomulya, Dalem Suryohamijayan, Dalem Mangkubumi, and others. The meaning contained in ornaments is essential to human life. Like the advice not to be arbitrary while being a leader. Which in Javanese is known as “aja dumeh”. Another hope to become a role model is shown on the central pillar (saka guru}, which is taken from the essence of the meaning of a teacher, who has the position and honor to be a role model for his community. The depiction of the saka guru appears prominently supported by decorations and other supporting elements. The supporting elements are different from those mentioned, and they immediately build a meaning that helps strengthen its philosophical existence. In principle, symbolic meaning, ornaments, or supporting elements in advertisements, apart from having aesthetic value, are also symbolic language that emits philosophical values that are united in the unity of its form.
