Two oval-shaped metal shoe buckles with a silver or white metal finish, featuring a decorative border of small raised dots or spikes around the edges. The buckles have a T-shaped prong in the center with three prongs on one side and one on the other. The buckles are positioned side by side, with the T-shaped parts facing each other. The background of the image is white, with a light gray rectangle behind the buckles.
