MARLIN buckle
This heirloom-quality "plaque style" copper and steel marlin buckle has a timeless, rustic appeal. It is made completely by hand using a combination of centuries-old techniques, including repoussé and chasing. The time-intensive process results in a durable, functional piece of “wearable art” that is essentially a relief sculpture. Measures 3.25" wide x 2.125" tall and is made for a 1.5" belt. Each buckle is signed and numbered by the blacksmith. Ships directly from the artist.
Please allow 3 weeks for delivery.
