Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The object titled "Buckle" by the artist is bronze-colored and green with rust or corrosion, appearing old and worn. The buckle has a loop on one end and a pronged end with a small circular hole. The prongs are joined at the loop end by a solid rectangular piece. A dark discoloration affects part of the rectangular piece and one prong. The buckle is centered on a plain light gray background.
