They developed new regional styles, such as the andahuaylino (reverse-painted glass frames), the cajamarquino (thoroughly painted glass), the Cusco style (carved wood frames that include painted glass), the mixed style or cuscaja (using gold leaf on the carved picture frames and on painted glass) and the polychrome style (using multiple multicolored hues).
