Buckle with Animal-Shaped Thorn and Belt Plate

Cleveland Museum of Art

A belt buckle with a rectangular frame and rounded corners. The frame is made of a gray metal with gold-colored accents. A ribbed pattern runs along the top and bottom edges of the frame. The buckle has six circular, deep red gemstones or glass settings, one at each corner and one on each side of the right end. The middle section of the buckle features a horizontal bar that connects the two sides. The buckle appears to be an antique piece. The background is a plain gray surface. The buckle is by an unknown artist and is titled "Buckle with Animal-Shaped Thorn and Belt Plate".
