Piece of clothing showing the social status, typically worn by rich girls or women. The frilled cordon around the waist (called bata) is covered with a sort of plate made of silver coins, or of gold plated silver coins that perfectly match the embroidery in metallic thread on the bonnet, the multicolour wool embroidery on the sheepskin coat, or other elements.
