Product description

This stunning strap fitting is designed in the shape of a scallop shell, based on a historical model from the Middle Ages. The shell-shaped fitting reflects the craftsmanship of the period and adds a unique touch to any belt.

The dimensions of the scallop shell strap fitting are 2 x 2.5 cm, and it is made from high-quality bronze casting, ensuring both durability and an authentic look. To attach the fitting, there are three pins on the back. Simply insert the pins through the leather holes, use pliers to slightly bend the pin tips inward, and then tap them flat with a hammer. This will secure the fitting firmly and evenly onto the belt.

Originally, scallop shells were used as scoops and drinking vessels along the coast of Galicia. It became a common tradition for pilgrims to attach a shell to their walking stick or clothing on their journey home as a visible sign that they had successfully completed their pilgrimage and reached their destination. In the late Middle Ages, enterprising merchants began a profitable souvenir trade, selling pewter versions of these scallop shells along with other pilgrim badges. As a result, the pewter scallop shell became widely recognized across Europe as a symbol of pilgrimage.
