One of the artefacts is a mythological figure called Paksi Naga Liman represents the great value of the teachings and wisdom which are respected and inherited by all the members of Keraton Kanoman Cirebon and its people. This mythological figure is chosen due to uniqueness and the fact that it can only be found in Keraton Kanoman. Besides, it represents an artwork having the hybridity of the acculturation of Islam, China, and Hindu (through the figures of the bird/ paksi/ burok, a dragon, and an elephant respectively). This research aims to describe (1) the visualization concept, (2) the spiritual value, and (3) the implementation on contemporary arts and designs. The research method used is descriptive qualitative and the data are collected through library research, historical review, observation, and interviews. The results show that the visual concept of Paksi Naga Liman is the expression of guide spirituality to human relationships horizontally (immanent) and vertically (transcendental) through space and time. The spiritual value is shown by the cultural wealth appreciation which continuously inspires contemporary arts and designs to this day.
