Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Buckle" by the artist is a close-up photograph of an old, rusted metal buckle. The buckle has a dark brown and black patina with some reddish-brown areas. It is shaped like a pronged buckle with a large ring attached to one end. The ring is circular and appears to be made of the same metal as the buckle. The buckle has a smooth, rounded prong on one side and a flat, rectangular piece on the other. A thin piece of metal connects the prong to the main body of the buckle. The background is a plain light gray color. A thin shadow surrounds the buckle.
