Ave!

Avar, Gold-plated Belt and Side-strap Adornment Trio, c. 7th-8th Cent AD

Copper alloy; For size reference, the belt end is 42mm/14.8 gm; Each Gold Plated!

Seller's Note/ The Avars loved their bling and these are no exception. Such mounts were set onto their belts to flash. Side-strap ends were also affixed to the back of their belts as to dangle and flash, making a jingling sound as they rode along.

Imagine the jolly and jingling Avars sweeping into your town or village...and burning it to the ground.
