This intricately sculpted Norse bronze buckle draws from historical designs found across the Norse world during the 9th to 11th centuries. With its curling silhouette and intertwined motifs, it echoes the serpentine knotwork popular in Viking-age metalwork, often seen on brooches, belt sets, and fittings from burials across Scandinavia and the Danelaw.

The design reflects both function and symbolism—elegant curvature combined with the enduring Norse reverence for interlaced animal forms, evoking themes of protection, eternity, and strength. This buckle would have graced the belts of merchants, warriors, or freemen navigating the harsh yet rich world of the North.

Each buckle is individually cast from solid bronze using the lost-wax process, preserving crisp detailing and faithful form. It is available in a bright polished finish for a new-made look or an antique bronze tone that suggests centuries of age and story.

Whether you’re constructing a historical belt, upgrading your LARP gear, or finishing a leatherworking project, this buckle is a historically resonant and visually striking choice.

NOTE ON BRONZE:

Bronze has been a favored material since ancient times for its strength, durability, and beauty. It develops a natural patina over time, which was often appreciated by early medieval cultures as a mark of age and authenticity. Due to lost wax cast technique, minor variations may be present.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use
• Avoid exposure to acidic substances or prolonged moisture
• Store in a cool, dry place
• For polished finish: occasional buffing restores luster
• For antique finish: do not polish—allow patina to evolve naturally ⭐
