This premium Viking belt is covered with Sterling Silver 925 and is based on a find from grave Bj 369 in Birka, Sweden. As a truly prominent piece, this belt is for true Viking Age connoisseurs who appreciate historical authenticity and the work that goes into crafting a premium item like this.
The belt is covered with silver fittings that match the buckle and strap end. A richly decorated belt, such as this one, would have belonged to a high-ranking person, such as a chieftain or wealthy Viking.

NOTE: Make sure to choose the correct length for your belt. You will not be able to shorten the belt without having to re-attach the strap end.A belt belongs to the basics of a Viking outfit, together with a tunic, trousers and shoes. Richly decorated belts were not used by everyone. Anything serving as a belt could be used to tie the tunic at the waist - such as a piece of rope, cloth or a simple leather strap with an iron ring. Belts ranged in width from 12 mm to 40 mm, which is evident in finds from the Viking Age.
