Description
Not every belt forged in the Middle Ages was meant for the clang of battle or the strain of heavy armor. Many were crafted for daily wear by knights and nobles, designed to secure their tunics with a lighter touch. This long leather waist belt is made from black leather, tanned to strike a balance between durability and suppleness, suitable for everyday use. The buckle and tongue are wrought from silver, shaped and decorated with the kind of metalwork common to the period,subtle yet telling of the wearer’s rank and standing, without the bulk or weight of armor fittings.
Measures 66″ long, 7/8″ wide
Fun fact: In feudal times, long leather belts like this one often served double duty,not only holding clothing together but also carrying small tools or pouches, making them as practical as they were a mark of style.
