Lost Wax Casting Accessory for Viking Age Bronze Belt

Lost Wax Casting Accessory for Viking Age Bronze Belt

Adorn your belt with the spirit of the North. This Viking bronze belt mount draws directly from the Nordic decorative language of the early Middle Ages, when warriors and artisans alike elevated simple garments into status symbols with fine bronze appliqués.

Each mount displays an interweaving of knots that evokes the mythical and symbolic world of Viking culture: a myriad of patterns that symbolize strength, unity, and the eternal cycle. These mounts are not merely ornamental; they are historical reflections of the warrior's presence, and are found on belts, sword scabbards, and pouches throughout the Norse lands.
