Shoe Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The silver shoe buckles are rectangular with rounded corners and have a scalloped edge. The buckles are outlined with small clear stones. They have a shiny metal prong and pin mechanism in the center, with two horizontal bars that go across the buckle. The top buckle is positioned above the bottom buckle. Both buckles are displayed on a white background.
