Link to the original belt buckle...
Belt sets were very common in the early Middle Ages during the Merovingian period among the Avar horsemen in the Kaparten Basin and were an important expression of rank, status and clan within Avar society. Belt sets are therefore found very frequently in the Avar finds of this period.
The Avar belt buckle from Vrap measures 8.3 x 4 cm. The buckle is suitable for belts with a width of 3 cm.
The Avar belt buckle from Vrap is made of high-quality bronze and is also available in genuine silver-plated.
Fastening: There are four eyelets on the back of the early medieval Avar buckle. For fastening, these eyelets are simply passed through corresponding holes in the leather and on the reverse side a brass wire enclosed with the buckle is passed through the eyelets and bent over at the ends, as documented by early medieval examples.
