Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a buckle by artist Buckle. The buckle is made of brass or gold-colored metal and has a distinctive shape. It is made up of two loops that are connected in the middle by a short bar. The loops are shaped like rounded hearts with the points facing inward. The entire piece is ornately decorated with a leaf pattern. The buckle appears to be old and worn, with a patina that suggests it has been used for many years. The background of the image is light blue, which helps to highlight the details of the buckle.
