Shoe Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two square-shaped metal shoe buckles with a silver-colored finish, side by side. Each buckle has a thick outer frame with rounded corners. Inside the frame, there are several thin, straight metal bars forming a grid-like pattern. The bars are arranged in a symmetrical design with horizontal and vertical pieces. The buckles have a shiny surface and appear to be made of metal. The background is white. Title: "Shoe Buckle". Artist: unknown.
