Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The object, titled "Buckle" by the artist, appears to be a weathered, aged metal buckle. The buckle features a large, rounded rectangular hole in its center. On the right side of the buckle, there are two protrusions - one rectangular and one cylindrical. The buckle displays a predominantly dark green patina with areas of reddish-brown and yellow corrosion. The object rests on a light blue background.
