Wau Bulan

Wau bulan is an intricately designed Malaysian kite that is traditionally flown in the Malaysian state of Kelantan. It is one of Malaysia's national symbols, some others being the hibiscus. The reverse side of the fifty-cent coin of Malaysia features an intricately decorated wau bulan with a hummer on top.

The logo of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) is based on the wau kucing.
