| Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun |
| Songket is an aesthetics fabric which is showed from the complexity of songket patterns which
encourage the Malay weavers to be more patient, diligent, and creative in ideas and furthermore,
becoming excellent in mathematics. Songket and mathematics cannot be separated as it is needed
in all the processes as to produce the beautiful results of songket patterns. This research is
about the analysis of Malaysian songket motifs through the technique of transformation or symmetry
operation group patterns with the combination of mathematical concepts which are two-dimensional
plane method which are the frieze patterns groups and wal Ipaper patterns groups and also from
visual art concept through structural designs technique. This research is also based on the
classification of Malaysian songket patterns which are from four main structure of songket which
are badan kain, kepalakain and pengapitkain, kaki kain and tepikain of sarong and kain/epas I
se/endang (shawl), where these are based on their geometric symmetries on the plane. This research
seeks to identify early Malay songket textiles within the context of mathematical pattern groups
and visual arts concepts (structural designs) in the twentieth century, which may have been
influenced or been influenced by, technical development in the production of pattern-woven textiles
from Islamic world. It constitutes an extremely valuable tool for this research because it enables
researcher to identify the characterization of songket patterns triggered from transformations,
frieze patterns, wall paper patterns and structural designs. The significance of this research is
to be documented and catalogued as useful guidelines for related professions and as database for
future references. It is also to serve as evidence of the existence of geometric and symmetry
patterns on Malaysian songket patterns as a useful contribution to the songket design industry and
finally as examples for other Malaysian arts or crafts in having design ideas in an effective way.
