Abstract

The application of Majapahit ornaments has become a style that is in great demand in construction with a more modern approach to today.

This study analyzes the autensitation or modernization of the ornaments of the Mojokerto city government building using descriptive methods through documentation, surveys, photography, interviews, and descriptions of ornamental aspects. The analysis showed that Majapahit ornamentation on Mojokerto City Government Buildings not only maintain Majapahit cultural ornaments, but there is a mixture of Central Java ornamental culture, especially Jepara ornamental carvings.
