A batik patterns such as semen, gurdha, and a lot more employ this famous basic pattern.Thus, it is interesting to found the general aspects related to the affine transformations used toemerge it. The other example can be taken from the Batik from Cirebon, West Java – Indonesia. Avery well known design has motif called “Mega Mendung” which frequently becomes the basicornamentation while it is recognized as stylization of “clouds in the sky”. This is shown in figure 2.In one hand, this accentuates a thing or two that traditional batik designs have incorporating theiterative function system. Here, the designer (a person that is traditionally recognized to be theintellectuals) made a kind of “affine transformations” of which (and definitely!) not mathematically.Thus, in the other hand, this can brought us to a lot more discussions related to moreanthropological quests on batik, for batik designs, somehow can not be separated with the way oflife and social fundamentals, in which they were designed, crafted, and appreciated.7
