The Lembu Swana Statue, which now stands firmly in Tenggarong, is a physical representation of this intangible heritage. The construction of this statue was not without reason. It's part of the efforts by the local government and the Kutai community to *preserve their rich cultural identity and history*. Its strategic location, right on the banks of the Mahakam River and in front of the Mulawarman Museum (the former Kutai Palace), further strengthens its historical narrative. Every detail on this statue holds deep meaning. Its horns symbolize strength, its wings represent freedom and high aspirations, and its crown signifies majesty and leadership. This statue is not only a tourist attraction but also serves as a *visual reminder for the younger generation* about their cultural roots, about the bravery of their ancestors, and about the importance of preserving the heritage that has passed down. Lembu Swana is also deeply connected to the *Erau Traditional Ceremony*, an eagerly anticipated annual cultural festival. In Erau, Lembu Swana is often manifested in various art forms, showing how deeply this myth has permeated the fabric of Kutai Kartanegara's cultural life.
