Medieval Brass Belt Buckle with Plate "Owl"
A Symbol of Wisdom on Your Belt
The buckle features a frame uniquely shaped to resemble an owl—a symbol often associated with wisdom and vigilance in historical iconography. However, it is not just decorative. The buckle comes with an integrated brass plate featuring four holes, designed for a secure and aesthetic attachment to the belt strap. This type of construction was popular in the Middle Ages for its sturdiness and decorative appeal.
Installation and Use
This buckle is designed for narrower belts with a width of approximately 24 mm (approx. 1 inch). Installation requires a bit of craftsmanship, but the result is worth it:
- Place the fixed end of your belt strap against the back of the metal plate.
- Secure the strap to the buckle using four rivets (not included) through the pre-drilled holes.
- The free end of the belt then fastens classically using the prong through the decorative frame.

Brass Care
Brass is a material that gets more beautiful with time. Natural oxidation creates a darker patina, giving the buckle an authentic historical look. However, if you prefer a shine, simply polish the buckle occasionally with a soft cloth and a brass cleaner.
Recommended Accessories
To complete your belt, you will need a leather strap of the appropriate width and rivets for attachment. Don't forget to check our selection of strap ends (chapes) that would match this buckle in style.
