Viking Bronze Twin Dragonhead Cloak Clasp 9th–10th Century Lost Wax Cast Fastener

Description

Step into the world of Viking nobility with this hand-cast cloak clasp, echoing pieces uncovered from early medieval burial sites and hoards across Scandinavia. Fashioned in two parts—a hooked tab and a looped receiver—this fastener mirrors the duality of Norse symbolism: fierce and refined, protective yet elegant.

The twin dragonheads, rendered in striking knotwork, represent guardianship and ancient wisdom, flanking the interlaced body with powerful symmetry. Whether worn by chieftains or coastal raiders, such fasteners served not only to secure garments but also to signal status and tribal identity.

Crafted from solid bronze using the traditional lost-wax process, this clasp bears unique character in every piece. The antique finish gives it the look of a time-worn artifact, ideal for historically themed attire, Viking roleplay, or curated collection.
