A small barrel or a decorative band around the middle of a barrel.
From French barrelet, a diminutive of barrel. The -let suffix (meaning 'little') comes from Old French and creates small versions of things, just like booklet from book.
Barrelet can refer to either a tiny barrel or the ornamental metal band—coopers used these bands not just for function but as signatures of their craftsmanship, making them some of the earliest examples of branded goods.
