  • 13. Apron or Podia

    • Podia refers to the apron traditionally worn by women for household chores and, at times, for agricultural work. These aprons are decorated with various designs, including animal and plant motifs.

      There are also men's aprons, which are longer and cover the chest, primarily worn by builders to protect their clothes from damage caused by stones and tools used in construction. These men's aprons were typically solid-colored, often in blue, or striped with bold lines at the bottom. The fabric used for men's aprons was thicker and more durable.
