La Tène Belt Hook, Celtic Belt Buckle
The design is based on iron age Celtic buckles of the LA-Tene period. La Tène Celtic culture was the dominant culture in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Northern Italy and Spain during the late Iron Age, from about 500 BCE to Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul in the 1st century BCE. La Tène culture continued in Britain, Scotland and Ireland after the roman invasion of Gaul. Sometimes confused with later Viking style buckles, belt hooks are from the earlier Pre-Roman Iron Age era. More information...
La Tène Belt Hook, Celtic Belt Buckle
A reenactor who knows history well can be recognised by the clothing and accessories he or she uses that match the person he or she is trying to re-enact. This belt hook could be such an important accessory. An example of how the Celts integrated it into a belt can be seen in an additional photo. This Celtic belt buckle is forged from mild steel and blackened on the finish to better protect it from corrosion. It measures approximately 6x9 cm and weighs around 50 g.
Historically the buckle was attached to the belt with the hook facing out and the hook end inserted into a hole on the belt. However, the fittings can also be used as a belt hook over the top of the belt to hang small items you want to keep about your person. Such as a set of keys, feasting gear or a tankard.
