The rivet included with the belt
The bronze rivet with the trumpeting hare motif is cast by the lost-wax method. A wax model is formed, the wax is melted out and the cavity is filled with molten bronze, so every piece is an original casting. The rivet measures 24 × 35 mm.

The hare from the manuscript margin
The trumpeting hare motif is based on medieval marginalia, small drawings in the margins of manuscripts. In these scenes, animals often take on human roles. Here the hare appears as a musician, blowing a trumpet.
