Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The buckle by artist Buckle is a bronze-colored, old, weathered metal object. The object has two U-shaped pieces, one on top of the other. The top piece is slightly smaller than the bottom piece and both have a green patina. The two pieces are connected by a hinge on one side and a pin on the other. The pin is long and thin, and it goes through a small hole on the right side of the top piece. The background of the image is white.
