Description
Finish your medieval outfit with the refined charm of this Late Medieval Brass Belt Buckle, a decorative yet functional piece rooted in the design styles of the 14th and 15th centuries. Cast from solid brass and polished by hand, the buckle features a bold trefoil (also known as trifoil) cut-out motif—a three-lobed clover design often seen in period art, architecture, and ornamentation. Symbolizing harmony, the interconnected lobes reflect the values of unity and spiritual balance that were central to late medieval culture.
Composed of three robust components—a curved outer frame, a tapered prong, and a rectangular chape—this buckle not only secures your belt with strength, but also adds a visual touch of nobility. It was designs like these that once adorned the belts of knights, travelers, and tradespeople alike, crafted to endure both battle and banquet.
With pre-drilled mounting holes and included brass rivets, this buckle set is easy to attach to any handmade or replacement belt. It’s especially favored by leatherworkers, theatrical designers, and enthusiasts assembling detailed outfits for fairs, festivals, or fantasy roleplay. Its polished brass surface not only evokes historical authenticity but resists rust and corrosion, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The trefoil motif, familiar across Gothic and Renaissance ornamentation, lends this piece timeless character—whether you’re portraying a merchant, a bard, or a noble lord.
