Viking cloak clasp in solid cast brass, inspired by 9th–11th century Baltic Viking designs. Ideal for cloaks, costumes and LARP.
Authentic Viking Cloak Clasp from the Baltic Trade World: This viking cloak clasp is a historically inspired fastener based on designs from the Baltic regions of the Viking Age, the Gulbische area of modern-day Latvia. Dating to the 9th-11th centuries, such clasps were worn by Norse and Rus people of status, for securing heavy wool or linen cloaks while also acting as a symbol of rank .
Handcrafted from solid brass, this piece reflects the subtle surface variations and crisp relief details that make each clasp unique.
Design, Symbolism & Construction: The clasp has a distinctive four-point Gulbische form with interlaced knotwork and a raised central boss. This geometry is commonly associated with unity, strength, and authority in Viking culture. When worn, the paired plates give a secure and balanced closure, distributing weight across the cloak.
Often compared to a viking brooch or viking cloak pin, this style of clasp was common in eastern Viking trade zones. Its bold and functional design makes it suitable for warriors, merchants, or high-ranking figures.
Practical Use & Attachment: Designed for use, this cloak clasp includes pre-drilled mounting holes for easy sewing . It can be securely attached to woolen or linen garments, for cold-weather kits, ceremonial cloaks, or historically accurate costumes. This cloak clasp provides both reliability and authenticity.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Note: Each viking cloak clasp is individually crafted. Minor variations in surface texture, alignment, or tone are natural.
