What symbolic meaning do the riveted snakes have in Celtic mythology, and what treatment gives the buffalo leather its characteristic used look?
In Celtic mythology, snakes are considered positive symbols of renewal and rebirth, as their shedding of skin was interpreted as an emblem of the birth of a new being; they also represent wisdom and a connection to earth forces. The characteristic used look of the buffalo leather is achieved through a special surface treatment such as mineral tanning with a subsequent pull-up effect or nubucking, which preserves natural characteristics and a deliberate patina.
