Rectangular cotton apron in black. It is embellished with an elaborate woven geometric motif consisting of horizontal, parallel, wavy red stripes. Two corresponding stripes border the apron’s lateral ends. Its central section is covered by a conical vegetal garland consisting of flowers in white, red, green, yellow and orange shades. Two strips of black fabric that form laces are attached to the ends of its upper section, making the apron easy to tie around the waist. The upper part of the apron is adorned by two cotton kerchiefs, one turquoise and one yellow, which are sewn on the surface of the two black laces.
