Knee Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two identical silver-colored metal knee buckles. The buckles are circular with a horizontal bar across the middle and two vertical bars extending from the top of the circle to the horizontal bar. The buckles have a smooth, shiny surface and appear to be made of metal. They are placed on a white background, one above the other, and both are centered in the image. The background is plain white with a slight shadow underneath the buckles. The title of the image is "Knee Buckle". The artist is not visually identifiable in the image.
