This fitting has been carefully sculpted based on two strap ends from Doune and Aberlady and then cast in high quality by jewellery casting Scotland. I will include copper rivets with each piece sold. They are normally classified as Anglo Saxon but given the Key pattern common in Pictish stone work I don't see why they shouldn't be classed as Pictish, though feel free to disagree!
If you want this in other materials such as gold please email me for a quote at caledonianforge@gmail.com We are always open to alter and change any of our pieces to suit your tastes. In the listing the piece might look darker than the finished piece. We artificially darken our silver pieces with liver of sulfur so that the details will show up in photographs but as standard the finished piece will be shiny and polished. If you'd prefer us to darken it then please let us know and we will happily do this for you.
This has been carved by myself from wax and finished with a mixture of power tools and traditional hand tools like files and saws.
All our packaging is 100% paper. No plastic at all.
