3-parallel stripe pattern


Explanation:
Menurut Kateglo, berdasarkan KBBI dari Pusat Bahasa, "tumpal" ialah motif batik dengan lukisan tiga setrip yang berjajar (pada sarung dsb.).

http://kateglo.bahtera.org/?mod=dictionary&action=view&phras...

He made his first design revolution on the tumpal - a batik pattern of three parallel strips.

http://asiaviews.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=artic...

From the huge variety of patterns found in the region, those considered here are: stripes, checks, hook-and-rhomb, patola, tumpal, tree of skulls, mysterious human/lizard, kiping and ucik.
Parallel stripes of alternating colours constitute perhaps the simplest of all patterns.

aligned repeating triangles


Explanation:
Salah satu referensi yang saya ambil sama dengan Mbak Monica, tetapi saya menawarkan padanan lain yaitu 'aligned repeating triangles' mengingat motif ini adalah motif yang berulang dan sejajar.
