Ketambe Adventure - Mesikhat umbrellas were originally made from local materials and are available in abundance in Southeast Aceh. Besides being available in abundance, the Alas people also have certain symbolic meanings and are believed to have the power to ward off evil. The basic ingredients for the Mesikhat Umbrella include:
The handle of the umbrella is made of Beno wood (a type of rattan). Beno wood is known to be very strong, does not expand (straight), the surface is smooth and very light so it is comfortable when carried. This wood is associated with the myth of the Overnight Dragon, where a giant dragon whose length is up to 7 hills sings and is exposed to sunlight so that it turns into an elongated mound of fertile winding land and many Beno trees are overgrown. Beno wood reflects maturity and maturity, so that he is able to take care of himself, his family and the people he leads so as not to be misguided in living a social life.
Umbrellas made of green bamboo (generally called Apus bamboo, Java). This type of bamboo is very tough, malleable, lightweight, resistant to water, and very light. The eight fingers of the umbrella reflect the symbol of the eight cardinal directions, where humans must have broad insight and understand the greatness of God's creation.

Strap for umbrella spokes from pineapple leaf fiber. Pineapple leaves that are quite old are soaked in water for about 10 to 15 hours, after that they are removed and cleaned until only the leaf fibers are left and then dried. A few strands of Pineapple fiber are then twisted into yarn and can be used as a binder for umbrella spokes. Pineapple leaf fiber is known to be very flexible, durable, and easy to function as a binder. Pineapple leaf fiber reflects the symbol of humans having to fight hard, not give up easily, be strong and have a firm stand.
Umbrella made of cotton. Cotton plants are one of the plants that thrive and are often found in Southeast Aceh. Cotton reflects a pure white color and is very light, reflecting the clarity of the mind, heart and human self only for God.
Umbrella tassels made of alvaka for ordinary people and silver for noble families. In addition, umbrella tassels are also commonly decorated with pineapple fiber tassels combined with certain beads. Alvaka or silver does not rust and its bright color reflects the symbol of purity and holiness, that the human heart should be pure and pure.
Umbrella stalk preservatives and preservatives use resin sap mixed with natural dyes, such as turmeric (yellow), areca nut (reddish), and other natural dyes.
In its current development, the basic material for Umbrella Mesikhat is imported from Medan. Currently, the basic material imported is in the form of an umbrella that is ready to be embroidered. In general, the umbrella is made in the form of modern products whose frame is made of light iron and cloth.
