A pre-Columbian indigenous lost wax technique was used for the creation of the plate and cast in bronze and alpaca (a metal that comes from combining copper and silver). Each of the straps represents symbols from the life of the vampire; a mirror and how we become victims of it; the vampire, not seeing their reflection in a mirror, is constantly shedding their ego, which is why they live life differently from a human who always seeks satisfaction through their reflection. The 3 were engraved on the back part of the 2023 buckle collection. Bronze is a highly durable metal, so you won't need frequent polishing or cleaning. If you wish to maintain it, you can simply use a microfiber cloth or a soft-bristle brush. Each piece will be unique due to the handmade processes.
