Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The buckle "Buckle" by artist Alexander Calder is a metal object with a light-colored, weathered finish. The buckle has a circular shape with a bar running through the center and a clasp on the right side. The clasp is made up of two small metal pieces that are connected by a hinge. The buckle appears to be made of metal, possibly brass or bronze, and has a worn, aged look. The background of the image is a plain light blue color.
