black or brown leather. Buckle and belt loop are made of brass or silver-coloured zamak.
The buckle is solidly riveted to the leather belt.

The Turul is a mythical creature from the
myths of the Hungarians, a creature half eagle half falcon, which often holds a sword in its fangs and has an important symbolic meaning for the Hungarians to this day.
According to legend, in 819 a Turul seduced the
ruler's daughter Emese in her sleep and prophesied to her in a dream that she would give birth to a son who would one day be the progenitor of many kings. She named her son Álmos, after álom, which means dream.
A Turul also played an significant role in the sagas surrounding the land-grabbing of the Hungarians, as he is said to have once led the Hungarians to Pannonia. The turul was not only
common in the arts and crafts of the Magyars, but also among the Huns and Avars.
