Starting on some belt fittings!

Started on the matching belt for the red tarsoly. The customer wanted the tarsoly and the belt to look like a matching set I will make 70 new brass fittings.

Here is some pictures of how I make the fittings.

 

 

 

10th century Magyar-style tarsoly

Just finshed with a 10th century Magyar-style tarsoly. Bright red leather with simple incised line decorations on the lid and a center locking mount. Brass edge fittings, a simple folded strap end and eight square strap mounts with brass rivets.

There will be a matching belt with some posh fittings soon to follow!
