Viking-era strap fitting from Birka.
Here you can buy a detailed replica of a Viking Age strap fitting that is based on a historical find from Birka / Sweden.
Link to the historical model...
Belt and bag fittings were
very common during the Viking Age and can therefore be found very often in the find material. Especially among the eastern Vikings in Sweden, Gotland and Russia, bags and belts with rich fittings were frequently worn and often given as burial objects.
The Viking strap fitting from Birka
measures 1.5 x 1.3 cm.
The fitting is suitable for belts with a width of 1.3 to 1.5 cm.
The strap fitting is made of high-quality
bronze and is also available in real
silver-plated.
Fastening: There are four pins on the back of the Viking strap fitting. To attach it, simply pass them through the corresponding holes in the leather. It is best to use pliers to bend the tip of the pin inwards a little. If you then tap the pins flat with a hammer, the tip will sink into the leather and the strap fitting will be stable fixed.
