Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brass-colored metal buckle with a rectangular shape on the left side and a gear-like shape on the right side. The rectangular part has a pointed prong extending from its center, used for fastening through a hole in a belt or strap. The gear-like shape features a circular hole in its center. Both parts of the buckle have a scalloped edge. The buckle appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging. The background of the image is light blue. The artist and title of the work is "Buckle".
