Tapis Tuho cloth is one of the Tapis cloths usually worn as traditional Lampung ceremonial clothing.

cloth semiotically and also to understand the meaning of its motifs and colors. The method of this study
was carried out using semiotic analysis theory and qualitative descriptive methods. The research results
an d novelty of this analysis show that the motifs (Aro tree motif, riding animal motif, dragon motif,
sasab motif, swinging crown motif, zig-zag pattern) and colors (red, black, gold) on the Tapis Tuho cloth
are not only decorative but have meaning according to the use of the Tapis Tuho cloth used for Lampung
traditional ceremonies. The implication of this study is that the Indonesian people, especially the people
of Lampung, can better understand the meaning of the motifs and colors on the Tapis Tuho cloth, and
preserve the traditional cultural heritage of Lampung, so that it can be passed on from generation to
generation, both in terms of the meaning and existence of the cloth.
