Although the percentage of decorated footwear in the series from Wrocław is relatively small the range of decorative motifs is quite varied and the level of artistry high. Based on the criterion of their execution technique we distinguished footwear decorated with embroidery, openwork, appliqués, painting , and with engraved, incised and stamped decoration. The decorative motif most common in the 12th and 13th c. was an embroidered band running in middle of the upper, from the toe to the upper edge of the shoe. During the second half of the 13th and in the 14th c. footwear decorated with openwork was popular. The archaeological material was analysed with additional data drawn from written, iconographic and archaeological sources, to establish who could have been the user of the decorated footwear, which is regarded by many researchers as a mark of luxury and social prestige. Iconography proved to be especially valuable in our inquiry as to the purpose of this type of footwear. I believe that elegant, richly ornamented footwear should be associated with festive attire, less so, with daily life.

The Makó-Kosihy-Čaka Culture occupied a large territory of the Carpathian Basin at the turn of the Eneolithic and the Bronze Age. For several decades through rescue excavations in Slovakia, its source base has significantly grown. It is now more than 70 registered sites. Rescue excavation in Iža was carried out by the Institute of Archaeology of SAS in Nitra in the summer 2008. On this polycultural site ten features of the Makó-Kosihy-Čaka Culture were found and further potsherds of this culture were scattered in four other medieval features. The largest number of diverse material, over 85 % of total number came from the filling of the pit 31. Pottery and osteological remains of domestic animals were numerous, but small clay and stone artefacts were represented only at a minimum. The paper deals with the ceramic and decoration of the pottery artefacts. The pottery fragments were represented by ten types of vessels and their variants. Pots and pot shapes dominated in the local pottery production. The relatively numerous were also bowls, less jugs and cups. The shape assemblage was supplemented with amphorae, decorative pottery, glasses, plates and bottles. The main focus on the pottery deserves decorative ornamented pottery, which is represented by footed bowls and also in the Kosihy-Makó-Čaka Culture environment a unique vessel with rounded body, decorated with carved ornaments and girth lines made by technique called (Late Eneolithic) Furchenstich (stab-and-drag), in combination with a plastic crescent application on the shoulders. Based on the analysis of the material in this paper conclusions on the relative chronology and genesis of the studied culture are formulated in Slovakia, whereby we do not exclude the influence of the Kostolac decoration on the domestic population in Iža.

The missal of Naceradec is a modest codex from an artistic point of view. Its decoration is limited to one figural illumination only - a canon depiction of the Crucifixion; besides this, the manuscript contains only filigree initials and clerical capitals. The quality of its figural decoration is comparatively high. Its style is post-classical Gothic; linear pleats of the draperies imply a date in the beginning of the 14th century. Only a few analogies can be found in simultaneous book painting, e.g. in the decoration of the manuscripts of Eliska (Elisabeth) Rejcka, but these analogies are not immediate. Some correspondence, however, can be found in monumental art, more precisely in mural painting.

The authors of the article deal with three axe heads and one complete axe from the National Museum of Romanian History in Romania, which can be dated from the end of the High Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period. The museum received these objects to its depositories between the year 1975 and 2015. Their mutual feature is that they were deco-rated and have not been assessed yet in regard to their shape or decoration. This decoration concerns mostly form in the case of axe with inv. no. 37793. Its head has got the openwork cheek and blade (9 holes), where 6 concave cuts are present as well. Moreover, there are 10 probable nails made of yellow non-ferrous metal in its handle and one maker’s mark on its neck that probably comprises a lime tree leaf and branch. The other three axe heads have got punched decoration. The decoration of the axe from Balta Neagră (donation no. 1555) consists mainly of lines, circles, cogged curves and their combinations. Then the specimen from Fântâna Mare (inv. no. 178595) was lavishly embellished by patterns made of cogged lines and on the axe head from Suceava (inv. no. 72492) a punched quatrefoil was only applied.

The remodelling and decoration of the provost St. Hypolyte Church in Hradiště/Poltenberg near Znojmo marks the final phase of the Baroque era building activities of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star in Moravia. This unique artistic complex is dominated by a monumental wall painting by noted artist Franz Anton Maulbertsch and his collaborators (1776) depicting 'The Finding of the Holy Cross', an important iconographic theme in Austrian baroque piety (Fiducia in crucem Christi).
