Shoe Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal shoe buckle. The buckle is rectangular, with rounded corners. It features a frame with a design on the inside and a pronged bar across the middle. The buckle appears to be made of shiny metal. A small rectangular piece of paper with handwritten numbers reading "1219.5" is below the buckle. The background is light gray. In the bottom-left corner, there is a white writing that reads "Z885P". A white tape is on the bottom-right corner.
