Viking Borre-style buckle with chape and strap end knot pattern
The Borre-style belt buckle is modeled after one from Birka grave no.949. A very similar buckle was found in Lithuania called the Uzpelkiai buckle. The buckle plate has little half-round plates with which it is to attach the buckle to the leather belt. The leather belt can be cut down to the size of the metal plate and then additionally stitched or riveted to the brass plate to secure that it will hold for many years. More information...

Quality hand cast from brass.
The belt-end has spikes on the other hand. Please make holes into your leather belt, stick the spikes through the belt and hammer them carefully to the side (authentic way of riveting). Please bend / rivet / twist the spikes gradually using not too much force – brass is not a plastic metal and the spikes could break off.
