The manifestation of Lambi tei, ikat weaving from Rote Ndao is one of the many cultural products of the people on the island of Rote Ndao, namely a special ikat called Lambi Tei made using young gewang leaf fibers or called hakenak. In the past, when cotton had not been planted in Rote, at the behest of the Dutch through the cultur stelsel, the people of Rote made clothing from the fibers of young gewang leaves. The motifs emerged when cotton was present and then people made yarn. When the nobility made patterned cloth, the commoners only weaved plain cloth and then dyed it black. Rote Island is located at the southern tip of Indonesia and Lambi Tei ikat weaving has a dominant role in almost every activity of the Rote Ndao community, especially its function during traditional wedding rituals, funeral ceremonies, and is one of the benchmarks for women's maturity. Initially, the fibers used were young gewang leaves without motifs which later developed into a unique motif and became the pride of every clan (family). Each clan will have a distinctive motif, and usually the to'o (uncle) of the mother's family becomes the leader for the delivery of cloth. The characteristic color of Rote ikat weaving is black and white. The natural color used is thread soaked in mud in the lake where the animals wallow for months then soaked in pama'a, which is the skin of the nitas fruit, which is burned and then the ashes are soaked. Using qualitative methods, collecting data by interviewing related sources and studying Pustaka. Rote Ndao ikat weaving is very closely related to people's lives. Family motifs are considered valuable because they are hereditary. The Rote Ndao ikat motif is a manifestation of their life.Keywords: lambi tei, tenun ikat, gewang.
