Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows "Buckle" by an unknown artist. The object is a dark brown, rusted metal buckle. It has a D-shaped ring on the left side. To the right of the ring is a round, flat piece with a flower-like design. The main body of the buckle is a long, thin piece of metal. The buckle has a braided metal band around the middle. The background is light blue with a slight shadow underneath the buckle. The buckle appears to be old and worn. It is positioned horizontally in the center of the image.
