This study examines the construction of sacred identity through ethnolinguistic and semiotic analysis of ornamental elements on the pillars of the 736-year-old Saka Tunggal Mosque in Cikakak, Banyumas. Using qualitative descriptive narrative methods, this study combines participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, linguistic text analysis, and visual semiotics to interpret the symbolic elements embedded in the decorative motifs found on the pillars of the Saka Tunggal Mosque. The results of the study indicate that mosque ornaments are not merely decorative elements, but rather visual representations of theological and cosmological concepts that reflect ethnic identity and past cultural myths spanning various eras. The results of the study indicate the relationship and influence of the Hindu-Buddhist kingdom on the ornaments of the pillars of the Saka Tunggal Mosque so that the creation of local and religious-cultural cohesion is reflected in the form of symbolic structures that reflect the integration of local cultural linguistic expressions and religious narratives semiotically and contribute to symbolic forms so that cultural and historical heritage preservation arises in the sacred identity of the mosque. The results of this study contribute to cross-disciplinary studies in cultural science, religious architecture, and visual semiotics, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining cultural and linguistic diversity in the heritage of historical cultural buildings.
