III-th cent balteus from Leiden Museum-NL and UK, Silchester
#4
Me and my brother Jordan after a long work achieved this result. And now my creative long and difficult wax project is realized
.On the Baldric from AL-HAMDD TRADING POST I found many wrong details .
I think we created a decent replica! These two plates applications (from Leiden Museum-NL  and from UK, Silchester ) are nearly identical and according to my humble opinion coming out of the same mold for wax castings.

This plate we carved into a thick plate of wax.On this central plate application we can see many symbols like beneficiaries sign ,anchors,floral elements, spears and  phalluses.All this stuck in a symbolic Lararium! How beautiful is ancient art intended for the military equipment. In antiquity, this balteus set was worth a purse of silver roman coins.
