Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a metal buckle titled "Buckle" by an artist not specified. The buckle is made of brass or bronze and shows signs of wear and tear. It has a loop on one side and a pronged or forked end on the other. The loop is rounded with a flat base and sits on the left. The pronged end is on the right and resembles the shape of a trident or three-pronged fork. The buckle has a hinge in the middle connecting the two sides. The buckle appears old and weathered with a dark patina. The background is light gray.
