The Bicol anahaw pamaypay is a handcrafted fan made from the fronds of the anahaw palm (Livistona rotundifolia). It features a distinctive shape, often wide and rounded, which allows for effective airflow.
Typically, the fan showcases intricate patterns and designs, reflecting local artistry and culture. The natural fibers provide durability, while the use of green and brown tones highlights its organic origins. Beyond its practical use for cooling, the pamaypay is also a symbol of regional identity and craftsmanship in Bicol, often seen in cultural events and traditional attire.
