Shoe Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The "Shoe Buckle" by an unknown artist is a metal object. The object is rectangular in shape with a buckle design. The buckle has a central oval-shaped cutout in the right side and three horizontal lines on the right, two shorter vertical lines on the left side. The outer frame has a ridged edge. The object appears to be made of metal and is likely silver or white gold. It has a small piece of tape with handwritten numbers at the bottom. The background of the image is light gray. There is some white writing at the bottom left. The image is in black and white.
