AB This article is concerned with archaeological small artefacts cut from metal plates. Their for a time uncertain interpretation has been explained by comparison with iconographic sources as aiglets for laces, cords and ribbons applied on garments of various social levels. This material study summarises the finds of aiglets from rescue excavations within the historic centre of Prague. Producers of laces, cords and belts have been neglected in the Czech and Moravian professional literature. This article aims at this small but important part of the products by these narrowly specialised craftsmen and their wide use.
