This replica of this ancient germanic belt buckle, type brim buckle (Krempenschnalle), is based on a specimen from Hohenferchesar / Havelsee. Plate and frame are elaborately decorated and made of solid bronze, which is designed also for greater stress. The size of the ancient germanic belt buckle is approx. 80 x 43 mm. The buckle is ideally suited to a belt width of 30 mm. The end of the strap must be trimmed narrower to make it fit through the frame.
