Abstract
The research conducted in this paper focuses on answering the problem of the meaning of the artifacts of the Classical period found in the Kasepuhan Cirebon palace. The goal to be achieved in this research is to obtain an explanation of the position of the artifacts of the Classical period for the Kraton Kasepuhan Cirebon. In order to answer this research problem, three research steps were applied in the archaeological method, namely data collection, data analysis, and interpretation. Based on the entire research process that has been carried out, it can be seen that the artifacts of the Classical period that are stored in the Kasepuhan Cirebon palace are meaningful as symbols of the status of the king who occupies the highest power. Artifacts of the Classical period were used to strengthen the legitimacy of the King of Cirebon who had the status of "pandita ratu".
 Kebudayaan Hindu-Buddha di Indonesia banyak meninggalkan tinggalan kebudayaan di beberapa tempat. Salah satu tempat yang masih menyimpan tinggalan kebudayaan masa Klasik adalah Kraton Kasepuhan Cirebon. Artefak masa Klasik yang disimpan di Kraton Kasepuhan Cirebon antara lain berupa Arca Nandi, Lingga dan Yoni. Penempatan artefak ini dapat dihipotesiskan sebagai “kasus ekstrim”, karena biasanya unsur budaya Klasik yang masih dilanjutkan pada masa Islam sifatnya hanya samar-sama. Kajian ini berfokus dalam menjawab makna dari artefak masa Klasik yang terdapat di Kraton Kasepuhan Cirebon. Masalah ini diharapkan dapat menjelaskan kedudukan artefak-artefak masa Klasik tersebut bagi Kraton Kasepuhan Cirebon. Masalah penelitian ini dilakukan melalui analisis semiotika triadik Charles Sanders Peirce. Berdasarkan kajian yang dilakukan, dapat diketahui bahwa artefak-artefak masa Klasik yang disimpan di Kraton Kasepuhan Cirebon bermakna simbol raja sebagai pemegang kekuatan tertinggi. Artefak masa Klasik digunakan sebagai penguat legitimasi Raja Cirebon yang berstatus “pandita ratu”.
