Historical Viking belt buckle / Birka in Borre style, bronze
Historical Viking belt buckle, made of bronze - suitable for belts up to 2.9 cm wide.
Belt buckle made of solid bronze, crafted and modeled after an original belt buckle from a grave find in Birka, Vestfold, in the Norwegian district of Horten. The original dates back to the 10th century CE!
The belt buckle can be attributed to the Borre style, which is also known as the gripping beast style. This is a Viking Age art style from the mid-9th century to approximately the mid-10th century.
The art style developed from Germanic animal style ornamentation. Mirror-symmetrical heads and animal depictions, squares, circles, knot ornaments, and interlaced ornaments are characteristically expressed here.
Mythical creatures are often combined with geometric interlace ornaments.
The Borre style phase of early medieval art also features mythical creatures; triangular heads, pricked-up ears, spherical eyes, and sculptural noses define this Nordic-Germanic art style.
Belt buckle dimensions:
- Width: approx. 10 cm
- Height: approx. 4.8 cm
- Weight: approx. 53 g
ATTENTION! The buckle does NOT fit our belt with the article number 55.002...
