The solid belt is made of very durable and
rustic cowhide of 3.2 - 3.5 mm thickness.
The velvet-matt waxed belt leather acquires that natural patina over time that is so characteristic of genuine, vegetable-tanned leather.
The belt is dyed through with a glaze during the
tanning process in the barrel and does not hide the traces of an authentic cattle life on the pasture, but makes them its trademark.
Four lengths in
black and brown are available.

L: Circumference 95 - 112.5 cm Total 124 cm

The Turul is a magical creature from the myths of ancient Hungary, a creature
half eagle half falcon, who often holds a sword in his fangs. According to Magyar legend, in 819 a Turul impregnated the ruler's daughter Emese in her sleep and prophesied to her in a dream that she would give birth to a son who would one day be the progenitor of many kings. She named this son Álmos, after álom, which means dream.
A Turul also played an important role in the legends about the
land conquest of the Hungarians in prehistoric times, as he is said to have once led the Hungarians to Pannonia. The Turul was not only widespread in the art of the Magyars, but also among the Huns and Avars.
