Even they are made on wax (in the way they are made in antiquity) they are very beautiful Smile

After a long pause I decided to recreate again some new model for cingulum buckle.
First in my list is the cingulum from Bonn -Landesmuseum and the similar one to it from Cortesia Museum.

Of course There is still much to be desired ..but the improvements I will leave for further period.

White bronze cast. Original is from tinned bronze.Plate thickness 1,5 mm, The width of the plate is 45 mm ,the length of the plate is 58 mm.

The peak of the plate is hollow from inside to reduce weight. I will put a red paste on peak of the later stage.

Stages of my wax work.

Re: Wax modeling and casting of our models! - Rado - 05-21-2012

I know that the plate must be hammered. There is no problem to be produce steel matrix (for this plate modeland) and to make them on the hammering method. But for now I have not gathered enough information for the QUALITY and CORRECT image reproduction.The exact measurements. A production of the steel matrix is very difficult and COSTLY!

From a long time I was eyeing on this model - British Museum cingulum parts. I have only these two Image from internet space ,from which I got the inspiration!

I have no information whether this model of a plate is from cast metal or is punching.(the one who I'm recreate) the other two on the right are hammered.

Brass casting. Plate thickness 1.5 mm, The width of the plate is 35 mm ,the length of the plate is 48 mm.Width of the buckle is 48 mm.

Cingulum buckles are very beautiful piece of Roman military equipment.
It is a great pleasure to me ,to create them in the most accurate way.
