Product description

This elegant medieval belt is named after Saint George (George of Lydda), a Roman officer of Greek origin who served in the Praetorian Guard for Emperor Diocletian. He was executed in 303 AD for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. Canonized as a saint in 494 AD, his veneration as a Great Martyr spread throughout the Middle East and Europe over the centuries. By the time of the Crusades (11th/12th c.), Saint George had become one of the most worshipped military saints. Praised as a model of chivalry, the myths and legends surrounding his life and deeds — most famously the legend of St. George and the Dragon — were passed down through the generations across the Middle Ages. High and late medieval depictions of him, often shown mounted on a white horse, are countless.

Made from sturdy 2 mm thick leather, this belt measures about 4 to 4.5 cm wide. A large buckle showcases the famous medieval iconography of Saint George on horseback, slaying the dragon with his lance. Alternating heraldic eagles and stylized fleurs-de-lis adorn the length of the belt. All fittings are made from brass. The belt measures about 138 cm long and comes without punch holes. A pin on the back of the buckle anchors into the hole in the end tip. You can also punch the belt to fit the back pin, or simply wear it "knotted" in true medieval style. This leather belt is ideal for high and late medieval settings, and works especially well for portraying a 13th or 14th century knight or nobleman.
