According to the Mayor of Yogyakarta, the new motif of Segoro Amarto batik is a transformation of existing batik motifs with design refreshment, but without leaving the original philosophical meaning. The new motif of Batik Segoro Amarto reflects the Peksi Bulu 10 motif as a sign of the times made in the era of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X which means to continue to progress and develop. The Cepek papat or sedulur papat motif becomes a human protector in the womb until the end.
