Abstract

This paper discusses symbolic meanings of tools, materials, and the processions in Sumbawanese Barodak events. For this purpose, Koentjaraningrat’s symbolic values are used in order to analyse the symbolic meanings behind the tools and the materials used in the procession. The data of this study are in the form of verbal expressions about the symbolic meanings and they were collected by using interview with ina’ odak (the beautifying mothers), the brides, the grooms and the participants in the events. The study finds that the tools, the materials and the processions carry with them the symbolic meanings essential for the construction of the expected characters and the required attitudes of male and female Sumbawanese people.
