Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an old, dark-colored metal buckle with a distinctive design. The buckle's base color is dark gray or black, with patches of green and brown, indicating oxidation or rust. It has two loops side by side which are connected by a central bar that runs through both loops, perpendicular to them. The loops are roughly circular with their ends pointing towards the right and left. The buckle is centered on a plain light gray background with a subtle shadow underneath it. The buckle is titled "Buckle" and created by an unmentioned artist.
