For context the Amigero resemble ceremonial guards of some kind. But it is more of a ceremonial “costume” than a “guard” as there is no service expected beyond participation in types of events like ceremonial functions. It is often mistakenly said that the Amigero in this picture is a Swiss guard, but this is not true.
