It's called a
glagah or rayung or kemb jembul broom and some say pine broom. Actually just
another name in the area where the tree grows. Sapu Rayung or Gelagah is made
from glagah grass (Saccharum spontanum) which is commonly grown in the
highlands. Glagah grows a lot in the area around the foot of Mount Slamet
Banyumas. Glagah that can be utilized is plants in the flowers and stems. The
dried glagah flower can be arranged into a crown of brooms.
Making broom crowns
is done by sewing using nylon thread or strings. Consumers sometimes like the
continuity model, but there are also those who like lakop with bamboo or wooden
stems tied to glagah.
The appearance of
the glagah broom craft in Petanahan Kebumen originated in the village of
Kewangunan, Subdistrict Petanahan, the beginning of the emergence of broom
crafts in a resident's house named Farhanudin (ALBA Shop Jl. Puring KM 02) by
renting two houses, which were used for broom production and marketing of
production .
At that time,
the main raw material was still in the form of fibers taken from Magelang and
Lidi broom material also took from Majenang, Ciamis and craftsmen in the homes
of surrounding residents. Kang Udin and his men first learned to make brooms
from Magelang and Purbalingga. The broom stems are made from Ancho bamboo, the
type of bamboo that grows in the highlands is mainly grown in the Wonosobo
area.
Currently the
price of Glagah / rayung is quite expensive compared to the previous year. The
broom made at this time is the Broom Shrimp Penjalin model, the reason for
choosing to produce this type of broom is because it is very popular outside
the region marked by the many Buyers, consumers who order, take and participate
in marketing the products of ALBA Stores.

the community because it is easy to use, practical, clean and of course
stylish, not even rarely / often used as a snack or souvenir. Who are
interested in cooperating and or just looking at making broom crafts, please
