Belt buckle "Germanic Snakes"

Belt buckle "Germanic Snakes"

Two-tone belt buckle with Germanic knotwork and Alemannic snake motif - designed according to historical models.
The Germanic jewelry features the expressive depiction of snakes in the form of a swastika, as was common among the Germanic Alemanni as an ornamental disc.
The finely crafted belt buckle with the Alemannic snake motif elegantly combines two metal colors - it is available either in bronze with a silver-colored inner part or in silver with a bronze-colored inner part, each made of pure Zamak casting.
A small prong on the back of the belt buckle simply hooks into the belt, securing it firmly. The buckle is suitable for belts 4 cm wide. The buckle measures 7.5 x 5.5 cm.
The two-tone oval belt buckle with a snake motif is ideal for our interchangeable belts with snap fasteners. The Alemannic-style jewelry also adorns the classic leather belt.

The snake has played a significant role in Germanic mythology and art since the Bronze Age, closely linked to ancient fertility rites that celebrated the return of life in spring and its death in winter. The snake likely also held a special place in funerary rites, as evidenced by the Germanic serpent Níðhöggr at the World Tree and the world-encircling Midgard Serpent. The snake is part of the mythological canon of many cultures. It appears not only in Germanic mythology but also in Siberian shamanism and the beliefs of the Indo-European peoples.
