Avar strap mount of the Merovingian period.
Here you can buy a detailed replica of a small Merovingian strap mount that is based on an Avar model dating to the 7th century.
During the Merovingian period, strap fittings were very common among the eastern Avar cavalry and are therefore frequently found in the finds of this period, often with oriental palmette motifs.
Bronze and silver strap mounts were very common among the Avars in the Early Middle Ages and were important for rank, status and clan within Avar society. Smaller fittings often served as decoration for the vertically hanging secondary straps.
The Avar strap mount measures 1.2 x 1.4 cm.
The fitting is therefore suitable for straps with a width of 1.5 - 2 cm.
The strap fitting is made of high-quality bronze and is also available in real silver-plated.
Fastening: There are three rivet pins on the back of the Avar strap fitting. To fasten the decorative rivets, simply insert them through the corresponding holes in the leather. It is best to use pliers to bend the tip of the rivet pin inwards a little. If you then tap the rivet pins flat with a hammer, the tip will sink into the leather and the Avar belt fitting will be stable and flat on the belt.
