Shoe Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows the "Shoe Buckle" by an unknown artist. The object is a silver shoe buckle with a rectangular shape and rounded edges. The buckle has a thick, textured border. Inside the border, there is a metal piece with a T-shaped prong in the center. The prong has a wide base that tapers to a point at the bottom and splits into two curved sections at the top. The buckle has two small metal pins on the right side. The buckle is placed on a white background with a subtle shadow underneath. The image is in black and white.
