Fleur De Lis Medieval Buckle

D shape buckles have been found in Roman-era archaeological finds and most likely existed earlier than this period. The D shape remains in use until the modern era and was used for a variety of utility purposes such as horse tack in addition to being a dress accessory. D shape buckles appear to have been popular during the 12^th and 13^th century in Europe when other styles of highly decorative buckles from the earlier Viking period become less common.

During the late 12^th century and early 13th century D shape buckles appear to develop elongated points and more stylised curved sides. This buckle is inspired by early Medieval D shape buckles. However, compared to the original artefacts this buckle has a more elongated point and stylised curves. The shape of this buckle is a stylised fleur de lis shape.

This buckle is most suitable for 12^th and 13^th century themed dress fittings.

The buckle measures 5.5cm by 5.8cm in size.

Made from solid brass with an antiqued finish.

Price is for one buckle.
