Across Europe belts were symbols of nobility, authority, and practicality. A waist belt with decorative metal buckle would have been worn over a tunic and was the flashiest part of a mans wardrobe, very often with gold, silver, and jeweled additions. Belts were often given as gifts or a token of love. Belts were also of great importance as they were a symbol of warrior status. Needless to say belts were of great importance in medieval life. This belt has been handmade from brown quality leather. It has a steel rivet design with an antique brass finish. Wouldn't it look great over your favorite period tunic?
