8th–10th Century Bronze Belt Mount Set | Lost-Wax Cast | Warrior Figure Design

Description

This bronze belt mount set is a striking tribute to warrior gear from the 8th to 10th centuries. Featuring a buckle and coordinating strap end, both parts are decorated with anthropomorphic warrior figures and radiant disc motifs—designs drawn from archaeological belt fittings of early medieval Europe.

Such motifs were more than decoration: they signified strength, honor and divine protection. Found on belts worn by Norsemen, Saxons, and Frankish warriors alike, these fittings were essential not just for function, but for identity and status.

Expertly made from solid bronze and crafted using the lost-wax method, this set captures the fine detailing and sculptural relief of the originals. The slightly rustic surface, historic patina, and weight all speak to authentic craftsmanship—perfect for historical kits or leatherworking projects that demand true-to-period quality.

Whether you’re recreating early medieval attire, crafting custom belts or collecting faithful reproductions, this mount set delivers enduring style and historical soul.
