Llawt'u

The llawt'u or llawthu (Quechua,[1][2] Hispanicized spellings llauto, llautu) was an outfit of the ruling Sapa Incas. It was a variety of turban with the colours of the Tahuantinsuyo. The llawt'u was traditionally woven from the wool of the vicuña with different-colored plaits. On the front was a stripe of wool called the maskapaycha. The symbol of the quriqinqi 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.

gollark: That's not related.
gollark: There are multiple issues I can see:1. modded servers have fewer players, so less econofun2 (probably more significant). modded results in basically creative play for anyone and no trading3. specialization does not happen
gollark: I read https://www.alicemaz.com/writing/minecraft.html recently (a bit of writing on economic shenanigans) and thought "hmm, it's a shame no modded servers could work like this".
