Description
This Solid Norse Bronze Buckle draws on original designs from the Viking Age, found in sites across Scandinavia and the Danelaw between the 9th and 11th centuries. Its curling form and interwoven motifs echo the serpent-inspired knotwork seen in Viking jewelry, fittings, and ceremonial pieces.
More than a fastening, such buckles often carried symbolic meaning—representing endurance, protection, and the eternal cycle. In the Viking Age, a piece like this could have been worn by traders, craftsmen, or warriors as both a practical tool and a mark of status.
Each buckle is individually cast using the lost-wax process, capturing every curve and line with precision. Choose between a bright polished bronze for a new-made appearance or an antique finish that suggests centuries of history.

NOTE ON Norse Bronze Buckle
Bronze was a favored metal in the early medieval world for its strength, longevity, and warm golden tone. Over time, it naturally develops a patina, which many historical cultures valued for its aged beauty. Due to the hand-cast process, each buckle will show slight, unique variations.
