Yacolla (garment)

Yacolla was an outer garment in the Inca men's clothing that was similar to a mantle worn over the Uncu. ^[1]

Style

Yacolla was a square-shaped woven cloth worn over the shoulder and tied to the corners of the cloth. Yacolla was made of finer cloth when the royals wore it. "Llicilla" was a woman's mantle held together with tupu pins. ^{[1] [2]}

Yacolla was a part of daily clothing and also an item for grave goods. ^[3]
