Viking Warrior Champion Belt Stud in Mammen Style

Many years ago I was asked to design a belt as a prize for a Viking warrior contest.

This was the Mammen style belt stud that I designed for the champion belt. I took the image of the raven from the amazing Cammin casket, which is covered with stunning patterns in the Mammen style. It was a real pleasure for me to just make models inspired by this casket, without having to limit myself to copying an actual find.

The raven was a symbol of the power of the mind. The ravens Huginn and Muninn aided the god Odin in his quest for wisdom. As a totem animal, the raven could guide the shaman to the Otherworld. Images of the raven are everywhere in Viking art, as well as in their myths and poetry.

I think it fits well on a belt for a Viking warrior champion.

The stud has four spikes at the corners which can be riveted to a backing plate, or simply bent over.

The stud is intended to fit on the part of the belt that hangs down. For this reason the studs measure 25 x 36mm. They will not fit upright (as in the pictures) on the 35mm wide belt.
