A decorative braid or trimming used on clothing, especially military uniforms, typically made of gold or silver thread.
From French 'aspic' (asp snake) or possibly from a variant of 'spick' (ornamental trim), historically used to denote metallic braiding on uniforms.
Military officers' fancy dress uniforms are covered in aspiquee—it's not just decorative, it's also hierarchical; the more gold braid, the higher your rank!
