Vasil the Lion (Bulgaria)

Hi, my name is Vasil the Lion and I am wearing traditional clothes from Bulgaria. I am dressed as a 'koledar' (a Christmas carol singer). My outfit features a woolly hat with a twig from a boxtree, a brown embroidered vest, a red fabric belt (poyas) and trousers and distinctive shoes (tsarvuli) with a criss-cross leg warmers (poturi). I am holding a traditional stick (gega) with a bagel (gevrek) on it. If you want to know why that is, scan the QR code to reveal my story.
