This mesikhat is spontaneously applied according to the pattern that exists in the mind without using a sketch image
Meshikhat was originally applied to traditional houses but nowadays Meshikhat is starting to be applied to traditional clothes, bags, wallets, and jewelry equipment. The mesikhat found in the house, and traditional Alas clothes have five types of colors consisting of red, yellow, green, white and black. These basic colors have their own meanings, namely the red color determines the choice, the future green, controls the glory or splendor, the white of holiness, and black controls the leadership.

Mesikhat is also used in traditional clothing, traditional accessories, knife handles, rice sickle handles, and other household objects. Mesikhat has aesthetic value in the Alas tribe community. Elements of aesthetic values and meaning of the object are seen from the shape, line, color and field. The messages and meanings of Mesikhat's motifs are very diverse, ranging from social, moral, and spiritual messages according to their motives.
