Everyday life in medieval Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of those categories which, unlike historical, social, political, social, religious and theoretical approaches, tries to examine the wider and deeper spheres of everyday reality in order to discover the structures that determined the living conditions, in the medieval time on the example of the court of medieval Bosnia and Herzegovina. Historical documentation, especially from the rich funds of the State Archives in Dubrovnik, as well as their interpretation in historical literature, has confirmed the history of mentality, which linked everyday reality to historical anthropology, the history of material civilization, and all with the aim of concrete life at a certain time and in a particular place can and should be described within a single exploration framework, which can then be broken down by further sociological, regional or chronological differentiation of the perception of space, time, gender and norms that determine behavior in those spheres of everyday life. Based on fine and written sources along with the scant material found when excavating necropoles and fortifications in Bosnia and Herzegovina the author tries to depict the Bosnian and Herzegovina nobility’s material culture during Middle Ages. The author primarily considers lesser-known objects and sources that have not been used to date. Examples are given of the nobility’s clothing based on written and fine art documents in an endeavor to single out what found during excavations whose decoration distinguishes it from other rings of the time in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Special attention is give to belts that are called Bosnian and Herzegovina in written sources.

The village of Ostojićevo lies an area which has a diverse ethnic structure, so the boundaries between groups of people are constantly negotiated.

The article is based on field research conducted in Ostojićevo in November 2016.
