pollera (Skirt)

Worn with several other skirts, and as an underskirt at fiestas. The tradition of regionally distinctive dress is still a feature of some of the remote villages of highland Peru. The costumes are a mixture of Spanish influence with surviving indigenous aspects and materials.
The green wool material may be bayetilla, a commercially woven product similar to the hand woven bayeta.
