Shoe Buckle

Zachariah Brigden

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two identical silver shoe buckles. The buckles are rectangular with rounded corners and have a border of small clear stones. They are positioned side by side on a white background. Each buckle has two prongs in the middle for fastening. The buckles appear to be made of metal, possibly silver or silver-toned. The background is plain white with a slight shadow underneath the buckles. The image presents a simple and clear view of the two buckles. The buckles are by Zachariah Brigden and are titled "Shoe Buckle".
