Celtic Face Bronze Belt Buckle, La Tène Style, 2 Sizes
A Journey into Celtic Art
The design of this buckle takes you directly to the heart of Celtic Europe during the La Tène period (c. 450 BC to the 1st century AD). The stylised human face, often interpreted as a depiction of a deity, hero, or revered ancestor, was a powerful symbol in Celtic art. It recalls, for example, the famous discovery of the stone head from Mšecké Žehrovice. The flowing lines and abstract elements are characteristic features that make Celtic craftsmanship a fascinating and timeless affair. With this buckle, you are not just wearing belt hardware, but a legacy of the rich culture and spirituality of our ancestors.
Craftsmanship and Material
The buckle is made using the traditional and time-honoured method of lost-wax casting (cire perdue). This process allows for the creation of complex and detailed shapes that would not be easily achievable with modern methods. Each piece is hand-finished, making it a unique original with slight variations in texture and tone. The result is a robust and durable product made of solid bronze that will serve you reliably for years to come.
How to Attach the Buckle to a Belt
Mounting this buckle onto a leather strap is straightforward and requires only basic tools. This is a buckle with a fixed pin and frame, designed for permanent attachment.
- Choose a leather strap of the appropriate width for your selected buckle size (see table below).
- Feed one end of the strap through the fixed bar on the back of the buckle.
- Fold the end of the strap over and secure it with two or three rivets. For a stronger bond, it is advisable to thin (skive) the leather where it is folded.
- On the other end of the strap, punch holes for the buckle's pin as needed.
A belt completed in this way will become not only a functional but also an aesthetically perfect addition to your attire.

Product Care
Bronze is a material that naturally oxidises over time, acquiring a patina that adds to its historical authenticity. To maintain its shine, simply polish the buckle occasionally with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do: Protect the buckle from prolonged exposure to moisture. Wipe it dry after use.
- Do not: Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemical polishes, as they could damage the details or remove the intended patina.
