Kievan Rus Buckle with Bird Heads

Discover our stunning bronze buckle, an exquisite item inspired by Kievan Rus design from the 10th to 13th centuries. Featuring two intricately designed bird heads, this buckle blends history with beauty. Eagles and ravens were common decorative elements in western Europe and perhaps came to the East with the viking migrations. 

The double buckle style offers convenient adjustments and fits belts securely. This piece is solid bronze and has significant weight. Made through sand casting, each piece is unique and may have small casting flaws/pits. This is evidence of the artistic process.
