Wau bulan

Wau bulan is an intricately designed Malaysian moon-kite (normally with floral motifs) that is traditionally flown by men in the Malaysian state of Kelantan. It's one of Malaysia's national symbols, along some others being the kris and hibiscus. The reverse side of the fifty-cent coin of Malaysia (1989 series) features an intricately-decorated wau bulan with a hummer on top1. The logo of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) is also based on this kite.

Characteristics

Wau Bulan got its name from the crescent moon-like shape of its lower part. Given the right color, wau bulan does resemble a rising crescent moon when flown.2

The size of wau bulan is bigger than any other Malaysian traditional kite. The normal width are 2.5 meters and 3.5 meters of height.3. This helps the decorations painted on the kite's body to be visible when it is high in the air. To make it more distinctive, wau bulan is normally decorated with large, strong-colored.
