Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rusty metal buckle titled "Buckle" by an unknown artist. The buckle is made of dark brown metal with a rough texture and visible rust spots. It has a distinctive shape, with a rounded rectangle on the right side featuring a circular hole in its center. A long, thin piece of metal extends from the rectangle to a looped section on the left. The looped section has a scalloped edge and a small bar running across it. The buckle is positioned centrally against a plain white background.
