cultural character of local genius in its time. The Old Mosque of al-Mujahidin Watampone is the oldest
and the first mosque of the royal heritage of Bone in Islam development era. The mosque has specific
stylistic and architecture that describes how the Islamic symbols interacted with local culture and art.
The strong influence of Islamic teachings was implicitly reflected in a wide variety of the mosque
ornaments. This research aims to reveal the decoration and Arabic inscriptions located in the
Old Mosque, to promote the history and archaeological traces of the Islamic kingdom of Bone, and to

cultural heritage of the archipelago to be protected as Objects of Cultural guaranteed by Indonesian
