Philippines Capiz Cat Bookmark

Kitty keeps your place in the book!

Capiz is the thin shell of a marine mollusk. First artisans wash and soak shells. After the shells have dried, they are cut into shapes and edged with metal wire. A finishing coat of varnish completes this labour-intensive process.

Before glass windows became available in the Philippines, capiz was used for windows in houses.

Makes a great gift for a friend who loves felines!
