Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a metal belt buckle titled "Buckle" by an unidentified artist. The buckle is made of dark metal, likely bronze or brass, and has a rectangular shape with rounded edges. The buckle features a wavy border around its perimeter, with each side having three curved points. A vertical bar runs through the center of the buckle, dividing it into two sections. The buckle appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and discoloration. The background of the image is a plain light blue color, providing a neutral backdrop that allows the buckle to be the focal point.
