Commissioned work, hand-sewn belt made of cowhide with tin rivets (tin pin satchel), motif each 5.3 cm, a template is made for the design, the pattern for each rivet is pre-stitched, the tin nails are cast themselves, set with tweezers and then pressed backwards. He is the only one who still masters this old craft technique (which predates quill embroidery, which he also uses, as well as the professional restoration of old pieces). But the artisan hopes to pass on his knowledge to the next generation. I received the test piece on light brown leather as an addition; it can be used as a key ring. The silver belt buckle was also artistically engraved by Christian Kieser.
