Ave!

Avar, Belt Stiffeners, c. 8th Cent., 2-Pack!

Copper and Tin alloy; 23mm/4.2gm and 26mm/3.8gm

Con/ Slightly plow-bent, otherwise, As Cast and Engaved.

Ref/ Avar findings from Ozora-Tótipuszta, Hungary. As presented in the 2nd photo, 3rd low, far left.

Seller's Note/ What with all the bling and adornments hanging from their belts, they needed a way to stiffen them up so the leather wouldn't bend. As see in the photo, the two studs would have been attached to the belt via slits in the leather and facing outward.

Both are rare and perfect for discerning collectors.
