Manggarai has cultural diversity. One of the cultural diversity is Manggarai Woven Cloth. In fact, the motif of Manggarai Woven Fabrics is a legacy of ancestors who have been tried to be preserved. In this paper, the researchers discuss six motives of woven fabric, namely Jok, Wela Kawong, Ranggong, Ntala, Runu, Jok, and Su'i. Manggarai Woven Cloth motif can serve as a recognition of the origin of someone who is wearing the cloth.
