This research focuses on providing an overview of the development and preservation of the narrative meaning of weaving with the Atoin Meto rhombus pattern. Weavers, traditional leaders, cultural figures, clergymen, and weaving observers are the informants of this research. This study is qualitative and descriptive, with a case study method. The subject of the research is the use of weaving with rhombus motifs as 1) cultural and aesthetic elements in daily clothing, 2) cultural and social elements in traditional ceremonies, and 3) ethical and religious elements in religious ceremonies. The results of this study are expected to help uncover and answer problems, as well as phenomena related to cultural degradation in the context of meaning, as well as functional aspects of rhombus-patterned weaving. The results of this study can be used as a reference for the community, weavers, traditional figures, and various parties involved in it, who have a mission to preserve the cultural values of Atoin Meto itself.
