Buckle Shank

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Buckle Shank by artist Buckle: A small, irregularly shaped piece of metal with a predominantly dark patina that has areas of green and orange, indicating oxidation. The metal object has a rough texture and appears to be fragmented, with one side having a more defined edge and the other side being jagged and broken. There are visible signs of wear and corrosion throughout. The object is set against a plain light gray background.
