Buckle Shank

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Buckle Shank by unknown artist. The object is a small, rectangular piece of metal with a greenish patina. It has a decorative design on its surface, featuring two circles on the left side and a curved pattern on the right side. The metal appears to be bronze or copper, with visible signs of wear and aging. There are small protrusions around the edges of the object, possibly for attachment or mounting. The background of the image is a plain white surface. The object is positioned centrally in the image, with the decorative side facing upwards. The overall appearance suggests an antique or historical piece.
