Mosques are one of the many revered places of prayer for Muslims. It is one of the places where Muslims gather for religious purposes such as sermons, meetings, etc. Countries around the world have their own designs for mosque pulpits based on their culture and ethnicity. Terengganu is one of the Malaysian states that has a variety of unique and interesting carving motifs on the mosque pulpit. The question now is, what is the carving motif and meaning behind the wood carving on the pulpit of the Terengganu mosque? In order to obtain accurate information, qualitative research is used to explain the answers. Interviews and observations were also used to supplement the information collected from primary and secondary sources. The findings of the study show that the three parts of the pulpit at the Kampung Undang mosque in Terengganu have various motifs consisting of flora and fauna motifs and these carving motifs try to convey a message related to the pure values of Malay culture. These wood carvings are examples of Malay craftsmanship that should be preserved. This research is expected to bring awareness to the public about the importance of preserving the cultural heritage that gives ethnic identity.
