Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal object titled "Buckle" by an artist. The object is made of dark metal with a green and brown patina. It is shaped like a rounded "C" or a horseshoe with one end pointed and the other end rounded. The object is lying flat on a plain surface, with the rounded end facing downwards. The background of the image is light blue-gray. The object casts a faint shadow on the surface below it. The object appears to be old and worn. The metal is thickest at the bottom and tapers towards the top. The object has a rough texture. It is positioned centrally in the frame.
