Capiz shell window
text:
In Philippine architecture, the capiz shell window is a type of window with small panes that use the translucent and durable capiz shell instead of glass. The Chinese were presumably the first to utilize the shell, the dissemination of which use has been credited to the Portuguese; extensive and widespread use of the shell for windows and other handicraft products as a substitute for the then more scarce and more expensive glass was seen in Portuguese settlements as well as in India in the 17th
