Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an old, dark-colored metal bracelet. The bracelet is made of a dark greenish metal, possibly bronze or copper, with visible signs of aging and wear. It has a rough, textured surface and appears to be quite thick. The bracelet is shaped like a horseshoe, with one end overlapping the other to form a clasp. The overlapping end has red numbers printed on it: "2016.17". The background of the image is a plain light gray color. The bracelet is centered in the image, with the clasp facing to the right. The overall appearance of the bracelet suggests that it is an antique or vintage piece. Title: Buckle. Artist: unknown.
