English: Capiz Window The outer shell of the windowpane oyster, Placuna placenta, is called the capiz shell. Today it is used, primarily in the Philippines, in the manufacture of lampshades, trays, mats, and bowls.* But during the colonial period, the most prominent use was in windows such as this one: Villafrancia Ancestral House in Naga City. * www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/462630/Placuna-placenta
