FIL: Isang uri ng suklay na karaniwang pandekorasyon, isinusuot sa buhok bilang palamuti, at kadalasang bahagi ng tradisyonal na kasuotang pambabae tulad ng Filipiniana.
EN: ornamental comb
The fancy comb Maria Clara sticks in her hair bun. It's not for detangling; it's purely for "awra." Think of it as the OG hair accessory before headbands and scrunchies. You see it in historical dramas and Linggo ng Wika costumes.
From Spanish "peineta" (a large, ornamental comb).
Associated with traditional Filipino attire (Filipiniana, baro't saya).
🇵🇭 Ang ganda ng gintong payneta sa buhok ni lola sa kanyang lumang litrato.
