ganggong, and kawung, while the batik group with slanted lines, namely semen and udan liris. In
this geometric group, the term raport is known, which is a part of the repeated motif vertically,
horizontally, and diagonally in a field of batik cloth; in general, these report cards are rhombic
or square in shape. Unlike geometric motifs, non-geometric motifs are groups of motifs arranged
based on the forms of plants, animals, or nature. Even though this non-geometric pattern tends to
be free, it still has a repetition of motifs in the fabric field. Examples of non-geometric motifs are
found in semen and buketan terang bulan.
In his book, Susanto also explained the pattern of the development of geometric motifs consisting
of four repetition patterns: (1) Tubruk, this pattern is a simple pattern where raport are arranged
vertically and horizontally by shifting one step; (2) Onda-ende, this development pattern is arranged
in a horizontal direction (left-to-right) shifted one step and vertically (face-to-back) shifted one
step; (3) parang, raport arranged in an oblique direction in one direction, either just left or right
only one step; and (4) Tubruk miring, this pattern is arranged in the direction of a slash, to the right
or left by shifting one step. For non-geometric motifs in general, the arrangement patterns consist
of batik motifs consisting of three parts: the main decorative motifs, fillers, and isen-isen (Doellah,
2002; Susanto, 1973). The motif patterns are arranged repeatedly in certain patterns in the fabric
field so that the shape of the raport pattern is very dynamic in shape.

In different literature also explained the pattern of repetition in the design of a motif. This
was explained by Wilson (2001) and Kight (2011) that the basic structure of the repetition motif
consists of (1) Straight repeat. This repetition pattern is the simplest repetition pattern, where the
motif pattern is repeated to the top or bottom section repeatedly. (2) Half drop: For this repetition
pattern, the vertical column’s repetition pattern shifts half of the part to the bottom repeatedly. (3)
Tile (or brick) repeat: This pattern of repetitive motifs is as simple as a brick placement pattern,
where the motif is repeated half or one part in a horizontal direction. (4) Repeat mirrored vertically
and horizontally: this motif is repeated by placing a mirror-like motif or facing off, repeated
vertically and horizontally.

With the description of the motif patterns above, the analysis of batik motifs in this study can be
done by outlining the motifs’ dimensions through the patterns of its development. For this reason,
