Description
Replica of the Viking belt buckle from Gokstad.
This remarkable replica of a Viking belt buckle is made in detail after the historical model from the ship burial of Gokstad in Norway. A remarkable feature of the Gokstad buckle is the obliquely shaped spike. This is not a mistake because the spike leads from the centre of the bar to the slightly offset spike rest. We have adopted this characteristic of the Gokstad buckle in detail, and it does not detract from the functionality of the buckle in any way. The Gokstad Viking buckle is suitable for belts of 4 cm width. The dimensions of the belt buckle are 6 x 4.5 x 1 cm. The replica of the belt buckle from Gokstad is made true-to-detail according to the historical model from high-quality bronze and is also available in real silver-plated.
The Gokstad ship is one of the most important Norwegian cultural sites of all. The ship was named after the Gokstad farm, where the burial mound is located, in which a Viking king and his remarkable ship found their final resting place. The Viking ship from Gokstad dates back to 901 AD and can be seen today in the Vikingskipmuseet on Bygdøy in Oslo next to the no less famous Oseberg ship.
