Shoe Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Shoe Buckle by Georg Jensen. A large metal buckle with a square shape and rounded corners. The buckle has a thick metal border with a leaf-like pattern. The buckle features a T-shaped piece of metal in the center with two prongs extending from it. The prongs are attached to the border on either side. A small metal piece extends from the top of the T-shaped piece. The buckle appears to be made of silver or another metal with a dark patina. The background of the image is gray.
