Shoe Buckle
The image shows a pair of silver shoe buckles. Two identical buckles are shown, one above the other. The buckles are rectangular with rounded corners and a curved bottom edge. The buckles have a raised edge around the perimeter. The surface of each buckle is engraved to resemble a bow and has two raised diamond-shaped sections, one on each side. The buckles are silver-colored and reflective. The background of the image is white, with a slight shadow visible beneath each buckle.
