Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a dark-colored metal buckle with a worn appearance. The buckle has two prongs on one side and a curved piece on the other. The buckle is made of a dark-colored metal, possibly bronze or copper, and has a weathered appearance with visible signs of wear and tear. The surface of the buckle is rough and pitted, with some areas appearing more worn than others. The buckle's shape is symmetrical, with two curved arms that form a loop. The prongs are thick and sturdy, and they appear to be made of the same material as the rest of the buckle. The background of the image is light blue-gray. The buckle titled "Buckle" by the artist.
