The results of this study recommend that in Relief Kunjarakarna found approximately 15 pieces of symbolic form. The study on the relief of Kunjarakarna Jago Temple uses the basis of Charles Sanders Peirce semiotics theory and, because the rise of Trichotomy (sign, referent, interpretant) has ever been suggested more suitable to trace the hidden meaning of the story engraved in relief. The Trichotomy structure (sign - referent - interpretant) is used in analyzing the meanings behind the carved stories and the composing of the story itself. This is supported by textual data that will be interpreted through the Visual Semiotics approach.
