Abstract

Karo tribe in North Sumatra as one of the ethnic variety in the archipelago has its own art and cultural heritage, one of which is a unique jewelry called padung-padung. This jewelry was used by Karo women in the past as jewelry as well as status symbol. Currently, padung-padung completely no longer used, even many Karo people, especially younger generation, do not know it. The strong influence of foreign culture due to the advancement of technology has become one of the reasons for the increasingly displaced padung-padung.
