Pamaypay (Tagalog pronunciation: [pɐmaɪˈpaɪ], puh-my-PY), also known as paypay, payupas, buri fan, or anahaw fan,[1][2][3] is a type of traditional hand-held fan from the Philippines. It is typically made of woven buri palm or anahaw palm leaves. It is usually heart-shaped, and woven in a technique known as sawali (twilled). The edges are braided and merges into a looped handle.[4] It is also typically made into wall decorations and other handicrafts.[5]
The term is also sometimes used for the abaniko, a folding hand fan used by the upper classes in the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines.[6][1]
