Celtic belt buckle made from cast bronze with Urnes-style serpent knotwork, inspired by Viking Age symbolism and ancient Norse art.
This Celtic belt buckle is inspired by the Urnes Style, the final and most refined phase of Viking Age art, dating to the late 11th and early 12th centuries. This artistic style is known for its clean lines, flowing curves and deeply symbolic animal forms.
The design shows a single interwoven serpent, often called a lindworm, arranged in a looping knot. In Norse belief, serpents meant protection, balance and the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth. This is linked to Jörmungandr, the World Serpent that encircles the earth and holds the cosmos together. Wearing such symbols was believed to give the wearer strength and spiritual protection.
The buckle is cast from solid bronze using the traditional lost-wax casting method, an ancient process used by Viking metalworkers. This technique gives fine detail, natural surface texture, and a strong structure. Because of this method, every piece has its own variations that reflect true hand craftsmanship.
Measuring approximately 4.7 cm in diameter and weighing around 35 g, the bronze belt buckle is compact but visually striking. A sturdy rear bar allows secure fastening to narrow leather straps, making it suitable for belts, pouches, or decorative use.
Whether worn for historical viking events, LARP, or for display as a collectible, this buckle shows true authentic Ancient Norse artwork buckle traditions and the beautiful symbolic metalworks.
