Abstract

This study aims to discuss about pranakan, namely the clothes or uniforms of the abdi dalem (courtiers) of the Yogyakarta palace as a symbol of identity in social life. Pranakans in their function are not just clothes for the courtiers of the Yogyakarta Palace but can act as a means of regulating behavior. To the wearer, pranakan is able to exert influence in the form of pressure to always maintain manner, moral and speech. Each part of the pranakan clothing is arranged in such a way that each part has a philosophical meaning. The meaning of pranakan clothing is as a depiction of a brotherhood with the king and with his fellow courtiers. Pranakans also describe a union between the small people and the rulers and between men and women. The name pranakan is used as the naming of the official dress of the courtiers because it refers to the organ of the human body, namely the uterus, therefore pranakan also serves as a means of reminder for the wearer about the origin and purpose of human life. The origins of humans are the same, that is, both come from the womb and have the same life goal, which is to return to the God.
