Viking Bronze Strap End with Knotwork 8th–11th Century Lost-Wax Cast Fits 1.5 cm Belts

Description

Step into Viking history with this bronze strap end, echoing belt tips worn by Norse folk from the 8th to 11th centuries. Originally found across Scandinavia and the broader Norse world, such fittings adorned the ends of leather belts used to carry knives, pouches, and tools—serving both purpose and pride.

This piece showcases classic Norse knotwork combined with a geometric diamond layout, reflecting a deep symbolic culture where patterns spoke of unity, strength, and endurance. Used by warriors, travelers, and tradesmen alike, these elements represented more than art—they were woven into belief and daily life.

Cast using the ancient lost-wax method, this piece captures sharp lines and layered depth. It’s a precise fit for 1.5 cm wide straps, making it a functional accent for authentic kits or medieval leatherwork projects.
