Batik is one of Indonesia's cultural heritages that not only has aesthetic value but also contains philosophical values and mathematical concepts that can be studied through ethnomathematics. Ethnomathematics is a bridge between culture and mathematical concepts. This study aims to identify the patterns, forms, and mathematical concepts contained in Banten Batik motifs based on the underlying philosophical values. This research uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Data was obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation at the Banten Batik Center, then analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and conclusions drawn. The results of the study show that motifs in Banten Batik contain the concept of field geometry, geometric transformation, and number patterns, which are integrated with the philosophical value of each motif. The findings of the study show that Banten Batik has the potential to be used as a contextual culture-based mathematics learning resource so that it can help students understand mathematical concepts while getting to know and preserve local culture
