Late Medieval Bronze Belt Buckle, Lost Wax Cast

Description

This Late Medieval bronze belt buckle is a lovingly recreated piece of history, inspired by fittings worn across Europe during the final centuries of the Middle Ages. Each buckle is brought to life through the traditional lost-wax casting method, a centuries-old process that captures every fine curve and crisp line, just as it would have appeared on original archaeological finds.

Its elegant, leaf-shaped frame and gently tapered pin give it both charm and practicality. Designed for belts up to 1.5 cm wide, it’s the perfect size for fastening pouches, securing straps, or adding a subtle but authentic accent to light belts.

Choose between the warm glow of polished bronze or the time-worn character of antique bronze, each finish lending its own story and style.

Note:

Every buckle is made using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, where the design is first sculpted in wax, then encased in clay. Molten bronze is poured in, replacing the wax and capturing the design in perfect detail. This method ensures durability, historical authenticity, and a handcrafted feel that makes each buckle truly unique.
