The rivet on the belt
The bronze rivet depicting a hare armed with a bow is cast using the lost-wax method. A wax model is moulded, the wax is melted out and the cavity is filled with molten bronze, making each piece an original casting. The rivet measures 24 × 33 mm.
A hare from the margins of a manuscript
The battle hare comes from medieval marginalia, small drawings in the margins of manuscripts where prey often turns against the hunter. The hare archer is loosely inspired by a scene from the Breviary of Renaud de Bar (Metz, circa 1302–1305). You can also find the same design on our leather wallet.
