The image shows a round, dark-colored metal object with a hole in the middle. The object is titled "Buckle" and created by an unknown artist. The object is circular with a scalloped edge. It has two oval-shaped holes side by side in the center. The surface is decorated with intricate swirling patterns. The patterns are raised and appear to be made of the same material as the rest of the object. The object is mostly dark brown and gray with some reddish areas.
