Shoe Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a pair of metal shoe buckles. The buckles are identical, symmetrical, and oriented vertically. Each buckle has a rectangular shape with curved sides and an octagonal outline. They feature a metal frame with a central bar running vertically through the middle. There are three horizontal bars on the left side and two on the right side within the frame. Decorative floral designs adorn the top and bottom of each buckle. The buckles have a vintage appearance and are set against a plain gray background. They are displayed side by side, with the title "Shoe Buckle" and attributed to an unspecified artist.
