Viking Birka Belt - Crunch Brown

This Viking belt is based on an archaeological find from Birka Sweden (grave find 750). The buckle features a horse motif and the strapend has a serpent motif in the Jellinge Style.

The buckle and strapend are made from solid brass. The buckle is a heavy duty buckle suitable for sword belts with the back plate of the buckle between 3mm - 4mm thickness and a 3mm hinge pin.

The belt has a strap width of 30mm.

Made from high quality crunch brown vegetable tan leather.

Crunch leather is a full grain leather which shows more of the natural grain of the leather. The leather is tanned with two layers of natural transparent dyes. The transparent dyes protect the leather while also bringing out the natural characteristics of the leather. Vegetable tan leather has a higher durability, strength and better colour and tone than chrome tanned leather.

This belt is most suitable for early Middle Ages, Dark Ages and Viking era historical clothing and costume.
