Norse era belts were leather, and considerably narrower than belts later came to be; 2cm (3/4 inch) was about the widest commonly used. There were typically no belt loops in garments, so any excess length was knotted around the belt and allowed to fall freely. The free end was weighted with a decorative strap end (right).
Not only is the strap end (chape) decorated, so is the buckle itself.
There are no holes in this belt, you will need to make a hole to suit your waist.
Length is 155cm (61 inches)

I can almost wrap this twice around my body without my kit on.
It's simple yet attractive design means it blends really well with my 10th/11th Century kit, and it could probably do so a 100 years before and after too!
I for one added one of the Birds Of Prey Ornament's to it, and now it looks even better.
The only odd thing is, mine came with no belt holes. But hey, doesn't really detract from it, just makes it another little side project. Always fun.
