Kawung batik patterned orb-like fruit Kawung (a type of palm or sometimes also considered as fruit and fro) geometrically arranged neatly. Sometimes, this motif also be interpreted as drawing lotus flower (lotus) with four leaves blossoms. Lotus is a flower that symbolizes longevity and purity. Usually motives Kawung named after his great-round-oval shape that is contained in a particular motif. For example: Kawung Picis is kawung motif composed by a small circle shape. Picis is a coin worth ten cents, which is small. While Kawung Bribil kawung motifs are composed of larger form than kawung Picis. This is consistent with bribil name, the currency that looks bigger than picis and worth half a penny. While kawung round-oval shape is greater than Kawung Bribil called Kawung.
