Llauto

The llauto was an outfit of the ruling Sapa Incas. It was a variety of turban with the colours of the Tahuantinsuyo. The llauto was traditionally woven from the wool of the vicuña with different-colored plaits. On the front was a stripe of wool called the mascipacha. The symbol of the korekenke was displayed on the front. It has been said that small dried frogs were worn under the garment as part of a tradition whose origins have been long lost.
