Description
Add authentic Viking detail to your cloak with this Solid Brass Gulbische Cloak Clasp, inspired by finds from the Baltic trade regions (modern-day Latvia) where Norse and Baltic cultures crossed during the Viking Age.
Each clasp is sand-cast in solid brass, a method where molten metal is poured into a fine sand mold, capturing intricate detail and leaving a unique surface finish. The result is a strong, functional, and historically accurate fastening piece.
The design features four-lobed diamond plates with interwoven knot work and a central boss, echoing ceremonial motifs of strength and unity. When mounted, the clasp securely fastens cloaks of wool or linen, while adding an unmistakable Viking presence.
Practical and decorative, this clasp is easy to attach using the pre-drilled holes—simply sew it on or rivet it for a more permanent fixture. Perfect for Viking warriors, Baltic nobles, or anyone wanting to add a touch of Norse authenticity to their kit.
