Historical Viking - Belt buckle / Birka in Borre style, bronze

Historic Viking belt buckle, made of bronze - suitable for belts up to 2.9 cm wide.
Solid bronze belt buckle, crafted and modeled after an original belt buckle from a grave find in Birka, Vestfold, in the Norwegian district of Horten. The original dates from the 10th century AD!
The belt buckle can be attributed to the Borre style, also known as the Gripping Beast style. This is a Viking Age art style from the mid-9th century to around the mid-10th century.
The art style developed from Germanic animal-style ornamentation. Mirror-symmetrical heads and animal depictions, squares, circles, knot ornaments, and interlace ornaments are characteristic of this style.
Mythical creatures are often combined with geometric interlace ornaments.
The Borre style phase of early medieval art also features mythical creatures, triangular heads - raised ears, spherical eyes, and plastic noses characterize this Nordic-Germanic art style.
Dimensions of the belt buckle:
  • Width: approx. 10 cm
  • Height: approx. 4.8 cm
  • Weight: approx. 53 gr.
