Overall, the study of Kelantan’s Wau Batik Sobek has shown that this art is not merely decorative, but also a symbol of Malay cultural identity that deserves preservation. The unique “sobek” technique, which requires precision and high level craftsmanship, makes this work valuable both artistically and as heritage.
Despite challenges posed by modernization, a combination of preserving traditional methods and utilizing modern technology is seen as the best approach to ensure the survival of this art form. Through this project, we have gained a deeper understanding of the importance of documentation and education in promoting local heritage.
In conclusion, collaboration among all stakeholders is crucial to ensure that the Seni Wau Sobek continues to be cherished as a national cultural treasure for future generations.
