Résumé

During the 3rd and first half of the 2nd millennium BC, men and women used to wear the same types of clothes, they however arranged their garments around their body differently, using distinctive elements to fix them: belts for men and pins for women. The Old Assyrian sources provide a wealth of information on this essential element of women’s clothing. They specify their use, their composition, their weight and eventually their price. The toggle pins depicted by the texts may be compared to those excavated in the houses of the merchants at Kültepe.
