Peruvian Traditional Quechua People Costume

This child's costume is from the Quechua indigenous people of the Chinchero region Peru.

The traditional dress worn by Quechua women today is a mixture of styles from Pre-Spanish days and Spanish Colonial peasant dress. The outfit includes a number of components. The "lliclla" is a small rectangular hand-woven shoulder cloth fastened at the front using a tupu, a decorated pin. However it is more common nowadays to see a large safety pin being used.
The "pollera" is a colorful skirt made from hand-woven wool cloth called "bayeta." Women may wear 3 or 4 skirts in a graduated layer effect. On special occasions, women may wear up to 15 polleras tied around the waist. Often the trim of each skirt is lined with a colorful "puyto" which is usually handmade.

The "montera" is the hat of the outfit. Hats vary tremendously throughout the communities in the Andes. Often it is possible to identify the village from which a women comes from just by the type of hat she wears. Hats are secured with delicately woven sanq'apa straps adorned with white beads.

This costume includes a dyed alpaca fur dance ribbon.
