Bronze and silver belt sets were very common among the Avars in the Early Middle Ages and were important for rank, status and clan within Avar society - belt sets are therefore often found in Avar finds from the Merovingian period.
The Avar strap end fitting measures 6.6 x 1.5 cm and is suitable for belts with a width of 1.5 cm.
The Merovingian strap end replica is made of high-quality bronze and also available in genuine silver-plated.
Fastening:
As evidenced by historical examples, also this strap end fitting replica has two pins 8 mm long on the back.
These are best bent slightly at the tip with round-nosed pliers and then simply tapped flat with a hammer.
