Shoe Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two identical metal shoe buckles. The buckles are rectangular with rounded corners and have a silver color. They are made of a thin metal frame with a decorative design. The top and bottom of each buckle have a ridged oval shape. Inside the buckle, there are several small prongs that would be used to attach the buckle to a shoe. The background of the image is a plain gray surface, with shadows cast by the buckles. The buckles are placed side by side. The buckles are titled "Shoe Buckle" and are by an unspecified artist.
