Eyelet fitting for a belt in the shape of a Tudor rose.
This expressive belt fitting in the form of a so-called Tudor rose is based on an English model and dates to the 16th century.
The eyelet fitting dates to the Tudor period and serves as a decorative fitting for the belt holes of a strap.
Floral eyelet fittings with a central hole in the middle were quite common in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and protected the thorn holes from fraying.
The dimensions of the eyelet fitting are 2.5 x 2.5 cm.
The belt fitting is made of high-quality bronze casting.
Fastening: There are three pins on the back of the Tudor rose. To fasten them, simply insert 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 eyelet fitting will be stable and flat on the belt.
The Tudor rose shows the image of two roses, the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of Yorkshire. This coat of arms was introduced by Henry Tudor when he defeated his rival Richard at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
This finally ended the thirty-year War of the Roses between the rival English noble houses of York and Lancaster.
Henry married Elizabeth of York to bring the feuding factions together and became King of England by uniting the two families in the House of Tudor.
