Just finished with this high status belt from Birka! This is my interpretation of the belt found in Birka grave Bj716. Full grain leather strap with polished edges and a eastern style hidden strap for closing the belt. Leather is dyed a deep dark red with 52 mirror polished strap mounts in bronze, buckle and two strap ends.
I'm very happy with how turned out, I hope you like it!
