However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on how its motifs, particularly Jlamprang, reflect multicultural values through cultural pluralism and tolerance. This study investigates the symbolic and cultural integration in these motifs, aiming to enhance our understanding of batik as a medium of cultural communication and a messenger of peace and harmony.While batik is well-recognized as a cultural artifact, its role in embodying multicultural values remains underexplored. Previous research has focused on historical and aesthetic aspects, often overlooking the symbolic dimensions of intercultural interactions. The Jlamprang motif, with its intricate geometric designs, represents a convergence of various cultural influences, highlighting the need for a detailed analysis to understand its multicultural significance and its relevance to the principles of Pancasila.This qualitative study employs semiotic analysis and cultural pluralism theories to examine the Jlamprang motif. Semiotic analysis identifies and interprets the signs and meanings within the motif, while cultural pluralism examines the integration of diverse cultural elements. Additionally, the study explores how these multicultural values align with the principles of Pancasila, Indonesia's foundational philosophical theory. Data collection includes visual analysis, literature review, and expert interviews to contextualize findings within broader cultural and philosophical narratives.The Jlamprang motif integrates local and foreign cultural elements, symbolizing harmonious cultural convergence. The motifs depict geometric patterns influenced by Islamic art, reflecting historical trade and exchanges. The semiotic analysis highlights the motif’s role in intercultural communication, conveying tolerance and respect. Furthermore, the study finds that the multicultural values embedded in the Jlamprang motif resonate with the principles of Pancasila, particularly the values of unity, social justice, and belief in one God. The study underscores batik’s function as both artistic expression and a promoter of multicultural values}, issn = {3031-5794}, url = {https://proceedings.undip.ac.id/index.php/icocas/article/view/816} }
